1. Be merciful to me, God. Be merciful to mebecause I come to you for protection.I will come to you as a bird comes for protection under its mother’s wingsuntil the trouble has passed.
2. 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 attack me. SelahGod sends me his love and truth.
4. Enemies are like lions all around me.I must lie down among them.Their teeth are like spears and arrows.Their tongues are as sharp as swords.
5. God is supreme over the skies.His greatness covers the earth.
6. They set a trap for me.I am very worried.They dug a pit in my path.But they fell into it themselves. Selah
