1Have mercy upon me, O God, have mercy upon me; for my soul trusteth in thee, and in the shadow of thy wings will I trust, till these afflictions overpass.
2I will call unto the most high God, even the God, that performeth his promise toward me.
3He will send from heaven, and save me from the reproof of him that would swallow me. Selah. God will send his mercy, and his truth.
4My soul is among lions; I lie among the children of men, that are set on fire; whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5Exalt thyself, O God, above the heaven, and let thy glory be upon all the earth.
6They have laid a net for my steps; my soul is pressed down, they have dug a pit before me, and are fallen into the midst of it. Selah.
7Mine heart is prepared, O God, mine heart is prepared; I will sing and give praise.
8Awake my tongue, awake viol and harp: I will awake early.
9I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11Exalt thyself, O God, above the heavens, and let thy glory be upon all the earth.
