1. Be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me,for I take refuge in You.I will seek refuge in the shadow of Your wingsuntil danger passes.
2. I call to God Most High,to God who fulfills His purpose for me.
3. He reaches down from heaven and saves me,challenging the one who tramples me. SelahGod sends His faithful love and truth.
4. I am surrounded by lions;I lie down with those who devour men.Their teeth are spears and arrows;their tongues are sharp swords.
5. God, be exalted above the heavens;let Your glory be over the whole earth.
