Back to Bible
1 [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. [2] ⓒ
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 with those who devour men. Their teeth are spears and arrows; their 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! [3] 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. ⓝ
