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 wings until 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. Selah God sends his faithful love and truth.
4 I am surrounded by lions; I lie down among devouring lions — people whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5 God, be exalted above the heavens; let your glory be over the whole earth.
6 They prepared a net for my steps; I was despondent. They dug a pit ahead of me, but they fell into it! Selah
7 My heart is confident, God, my heart is confident. I will sing; I will sing praises.
8 Wake up, my soul! Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.
9 I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 For your faithful love is as high as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
11 God, be exalted above the heavens; let your glory be over the whole earth.
