1. Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious tome!For my soul seeks refuge in You;in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge,until the ruinous storm passes by.
2. I will cry to God Most High,to God who vindicates me.
3. He will send from heaven and save mefrom the taunt of the one who crushes me. SelahGod will send forth His mercy and His truth.
4. My soul is among lions,and I lie among the sons of men who blaze like fire,whose teeth are spears and arrows,and their tongue a sharp sword.
5. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;may Your glory be above all the earth.
6. They have prepared a net for my steps;my soul is bowed down;they have dug a pit before me,but they have fallen into it. Selah
