1 Be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me,
For my soul ^dtakes refuge in You;
And in the ^eshadow of Your wings I will take refuge
Until destruction ^fpasses by.
2 I will cry to God Most High,
To God who ^gaccomplishes all things for me.
3 He will ^hsend from heaven and save me;
He rebukes the one who ^{▼▼Or snaps at
,} ^jtramples upon me. Selah
God will send His ^{▼▼Or faithfulness
,} ^lfavor and His truth.

4 My soul is among ^mlions;
I must lie among those who devour,
Among sons of mankind whose ⁿteeth are spears and arrows,
And their ^otongue is a sharp sword.
5 ^pBe exalted above the heavens, God;
May Your glory be above all the earth.
6 They have prepared a ^qnet for my steps;
My soul is ^rbowed down;
They ^sdug a pit before me;
They themselves have ^tfallen into the midst of it. Selah

7 ^uMy ^vheart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
8 Awake, ^wmy glory!
Awake, ^xharp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
9 ^yI will praise You, Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to You among the ^{▼▼Lit peoples}nations.
10 For Your ^aagoodness is great to the heavens
And Your ^{▼▼Or faithfulness}truth to the clouds.
11 ^acBe exalted above the heavens, God;
May Your glory be above all the earth.
