1 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 until these calamities be overpast ⚑

2 I will cry unto God most high unto God that performeth all things for me ⚑

3 He shall send from heaven and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up Selah God shall 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 whose teeth are spears and arrows and their tongue a sharp sword ⚑

5 Be thou exalted O God above the heavens let thy glory be above all the earth ⚑

6 They 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 My heart is fixed O God my heart is fixed I will sing and give praise ⚑

8 Awake 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 thy 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 ⚑
