English.png English text


1  Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me, for my soul trusteth in thee : and under the shadow of thy wings shall be my refuge, until this tyranny be over-past.

2  I will call unto the most high God : even unto the God that shall perform the cause which I have in hand.

3  He shall send from heaven : and save me from the reproof of him that would eat me up.

4  God shall send forth his mercy and truth : my soul is among lions.

5  And I lie even among the children of men, that are set on fire : whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword

6  Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens : and thy glory above all the earth.

7  They have laid a net for my feet, and pressed down my soul : they have digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the midst of it themselves.

8  My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed : I will sing, and give praise.

9  Awake up, my glory; awake, lute and harp : I myself will awake right early.

10  I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the people : and I will sing unto thee among the nations.

11  For the greatness of thy mercy reacheth unto the heavens : and thy truth unto the clouds.

12  Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens : and thy glory above all the earth.
