Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, auntil these calamities be overpast.
2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God bthat performeth all things for me.
3 cHe shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God dshall send forth his mercy and his truth.
4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, ewhose teeth are spears and arrows, and ftheir tongue a sharp sword.
5 gBe thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
6 hThey have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.
7 iMy heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8 jAwake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10 For kthy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
Psalm 58
