Be merciful to me, God; be merciful to me because I come to you for protection. Let me hide under the shadow of your wings until the trouble has passed.

I cry out to God Most High, to the God who does everything for me.
3
He sends help from heaven and saves me. He punishes those who chase me. Selah God sends me his love and truth.

Enemies, like lions, are all around me; I must lie down among them. Their teeth are like spears and arrows, their tongues as sharp as swords.
5
God is supreme over the skies; his majesty covers the earth.
