\v 1 Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me,
\q for I take refuge in you until these troubles are over.
\q I stay under your wings for protection until this destruction is over.
\s5
\q
\v 2 I will cry to God Most High,
\q to God, who does all things for me.

\v 3 He will send help from heaven and save me,
\q when the man who wishes to swallow me up rebukes me;

\q God will send out to me his covenant faithfulness and his trustworthiness.

\v 4 My life is among lions;

\q
\v 5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens;
\q let your glory be above all the earth.

\q They themselves have fallen into the middle of it!
