Psalms 57:1-4
1123Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, For my soul 4takes refuge in You; And in the 5shadow of Your wings I will take refuge Until destruction 6passes by.2I will cry to God Most High, To God who 7accomplishes all things for me.3He will 8send from heaven and save me; He reproaches him who 910tramples upon me. 11Selah. God will send forth His 12lovingkindness and His 13truth.
4My soul is among 14lions; I must lie among those who breathe forth fire, Even the sons of men, whose 15teeth are spears and arrows And their 16tongue a sharp sword.
