¹Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me!

For in You my soul takes refuge;

in the shadow of Your wings will I take refuge,

until these calamities pass by.

²I will cry out to God Most High,

to God who performs all things for me.

³He will send from heaven and save me;

He will reproach him who tramples on me. Selah

God will send forth His mercy and His truth.

⁴My soul is among lions;

I lie among the sons of men who are set on fire,

whose teeth are spears and arrows,

and their tongue a sharp sword.

⁵Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;

let Your glory be above all the earth.

⁶They have prepared a net for my steps;[#Ps 140:5]

my soul is bowed down;

they have dug a pit before me,

but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah

⁷My heart is steadfast, O God,

my heart is steadfast;

I will sing and give praise.

⁸Awake, my glory!

Awake, psaltery and harp!

I will awaken the dawn.

⁹I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples;

I will sing to You among the nations.

¹⁰For Your mercy is great unto the heavens,

and Your truth unto the clouds.

¹¹Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.

Let Your glory be above all the earth.
