Psalms 57:1-4

1123Be gracious to me, 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 rebukes the one who 910tramples upon me. Selah God will send His 1112favor and His truth.

4My soul is among 13lions; I must lie among those who devour, Among sons of mankind whose 14teeth are spears and arrows, And their 15tongue is a sharp sword.
