1. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful,because I come to you for safety.In the shadow of your wings I find protectionuntil the raging storms are over.
2. I call to God, the Most High,to God, who supplies my every need.
3. He will answer from heaven and save me;he will defeat my oppressors.God will show me his constant love and faithfulness.
4. I am surrounded by enemies,who are like lions hungry for human flesh.Their teeth are like spears and arrows;their tongues are like sharp swords.
