Текст пісні
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!
I cry out to God Most High,
To God who fulfills his purpose for me.
He will send from heaven and save me;
He will put to shame him who tramples on me.
God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness!
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.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
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!
My heart is steadfast, O God,
My heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
Awake, my glory!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
For your steadfast love is great to the heavens,
Your faithfulness to the clouds!
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
