Psalms

¹ Be good to me, God—and now! I've run to you for dear life. I'm hiding out under your wings until the hurricane blows over.

² the God who holds me together.

³ he humiliates those who kick me around. God delivers generous love, he makes good on his word.

⁴ who are wild for a taste of human flesh; Their teeth are lances and arrows, their tongues are sharp daggers.

⁵ Cover the whole earth with your glory!

⁶ I thought I was dead and done for. They dug a mantrap to catch me, and fell in headlong themselves.

⁷ ready from head to toe, Ready to sing, ready to raise a tune:

⁸ Wake up, harp! wake up, lute! Wake up, you sleepyhead sun!"

⁹ singing your praises in town and country.

¹⁰ every cloud is a flag to your faithfulness.

¹¹ Cover the whole earth with your glory!
