Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me,
for in You my soul takes refuge.
In the shadow of Your wings I take refuge,
until destruction passes by.

to God who accomplishes it for me.
He will send from heaven and save me.
He rebukes the one trampling on me. Selah
God is sending His mercy and His truth.

    I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
    whose tongues are sharp swords.(F)
