1 Have mercy on me, Lord;
to you my soul holds fast.
Your cov'ring wings will shelter me
until the danger's past.
2 I cry to God Most High,
to God who answers me,
For he fulfils his purposes
for me most perfectly.
3 He send his help from heaven
and saves me from above,
Rebuking those who seek my life;
God sends his truth and love.
4 I live with savage beasts,
I dwell with lions strong -
with men who speak with piercing words;
a sharp sword is their tongue.
5 Above the highest heavens,
O God exalted be!
And over all the earth below
display your majesty.
6 My soul was overwhelmed;
they spread a net for me.
But they themselves fell in the pit
which they dug secretly.
7 My heart is steadfast, Lord;
with music I will sing.
8 Awake, my soul! Wake, harp and lyre!
my song the dawn will bring.
9 Among the nations, Lord,
to you I will give praise.
Among the peoples of the earth
my songs of you I'll raise.
10 Great is your steadfast love,
which reaches to the sky.
Your constant faithfulness, O Lord,
extends to heaven high.
11 Above the highest heavens,
O God exalted be!
And over all the earth below
display your majesty.
