Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy! I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until the danger passes by.I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me.He will send help from heaven to rescue me, disgracing those who hound me. Interlude My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness.I am surrounded by fierce lions who greedily devour human prey— whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows, and whose tongues cut like swords.Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens! May your glory shine over all the earth.My enemies have set a trap for me. I am weary from distress. They have dug a deep pit in my path, but they themselves have fallen into it. InterludeMy heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises!Wake up, my heart! Wake up, O lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song.I will thank you, Lord, among all the people. I will sing your praises among the nations.For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth.

I cry out to the Lord; I plead for the Lord’s mercy.I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles.When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn. Wherever I go, my enemies have set traps for me.I look for someone to come and help me, but no one gives me a passing thought! No one will help me; no one cares a bit what happens to me.Then I pray to you, O Lord. I say,“ You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life.Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.Bring me out of prison so I can thank you. The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to me.”

I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises.

Why should I let someone like this be my guest?”

O people of Mareshah, I will bring a conqueror to capture your town. And the leaders of Israel will go to Adullam.
