Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I take refuge, until {cf15i these} calamities be overpast.
He shall send from heaven, and save me, {cf15i when} he that would swallow me up reproacheth; {cf15i Selah} God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
They have prepared a net for my steps; thy soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. {cf15i Selah}
