English Standard Version (ESV)

Switch Version:

¹ [1]ⓐ ⓑ ⓒ ⓓ Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soulⓔ takes refuge; inⓕ the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, ⓖtill the storms of destruction pass by.

² I cry out to God Most High, to God whoⓗ fulfills his purpose for me.

³ ⓘ He will send from heaven and save me; he will put to shameⓙ him who tramples on me. Selah ⓚGod will send outⓛ his steadfast love and his faithfulness!

⁴ My soul is in the midst ofⓜ lions; I lie down amid fiery beasts — the children of man, whoseⓝ teeth are spears and arrows, whoseⓞ tongues are sharp swords.

⁵ ⓟ Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!

⁶ They setⓠ a net for my steps; my soul wasⓡ bowed down. Theyⓢ dug a pit in my way, but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah

⁷ ⓣ My heart isⓤ steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody!

⁸ ⓥ Awake,ⓦ my glory![2] Awake,ⓧ O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn!

⁹ I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.

¹⁰ For yourⓨ steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.

¹¹ ⓩ Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!
