  1.  O pity me, be gracious God,
         For it is You my soul does seek;
      My refuge rests under Your wings,
         Till all danger passes.
      I call to God, to the Most High,
         Who fulfills His purpose.
      He will send help from heav'n above;
         Put to shame all who slander.

  2.  God will send forth His steadfast love;
         His loving kindness and His truth;
      O'er all the earth His glory shines,
         High above the heavens!
      My life must be mid sons of men
         Whose tongues use sharp swords;
      They set a net for my own life;
         But instead they have fallen.

  3.  My heart is steadfast, O my God;
         Steadfast and confident in You;
      Praise will I sing, make melody,
         On the harp and the lyre!
      My soul, awake, give thanks to God;
         sing His praise to all nations!
      For His great love soars to the heav'ns;
         Great is He and exalted!
