• Prayer for Safety from Enemies

  • 1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, Until these calamities have passed by.
  • 2 I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me.
  • 3 He shall send from heaven and save me; He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
  • 4 My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men Who are set on fire, Whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
  • 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.
  • 6 They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have dug a pit before me; Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah
  • 7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise.
  • 8 Awake, my glory! Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.
  • 9 I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the nations.
  • 10 For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, And Your truth unto the clouds.
  • 11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.
