1Be 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.1Have mercy on me, God, have mercy, for in you I have placed my trust. Even in the shadow of your wings will I find my refuge until this calamity passes.
2I call to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.2I call upon the God Most High; to the God who completes what he began in me.
3He reaches down from heaven and saves me, challenging the one who tramples me. Selah God sends his faithful love and truth.3He will send help from heaven to deliver me from those who harass and despise me. Interlude God will send his gracious love and truth.
4I am surrounded by lions; I lie down among devouring lions--people whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.4I am surrounded by lions. I lie down with those who burn with fire— that is, with people whose teeth are like spears and arrows— whose tongues are like sharp swords.
5God, be exalted above the heavens; let your glory be over the whole earth.5Be exalted above the heavens, God! May your glory cover the earth!
6They prepared a net for my steps; I was despondent. They dug a pit ahead of me, but they fell into it! Selah6They have set a snare for my feet, which makes me depressed. They dug a pit in front of me, but they are the ones who fell into it! Interlude
7My heart is confident, God, my heart is confident. I will sing; I will sing praises.7My heart is committed, God, my heart is committed, so I will sing and play music.
8Wake up, my soul! Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.8Wake up, my soul, wake up, lyre and harp! I will awaken at dawn.
9I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.9I will exalt you among the peoples, Lord. I will play music among the nations.
10For your faithful love is as high as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches the clouds.10For your gracious love is great, extending even to the heavens, and your truth even to the skies.
11God, be exalted above the heavens; let your glory be over the whole earth.11Be exalted above the heavens, God! May your glory cover the earth!
