1 O God, please help me!

I ask you to do that because I depend on you to protect me.

I pray that you will protect me just as a mother bird protects her chicks under her wings.

I ask you to do that until the troubles I am having are over.

2 I am crying for help to God, who is greater than all other spirit beings.

God will complete what he has begun to do for me.

3 May he act from where he is in heaven to rescue me.

Someone is trying to harm me; may God prevent him from doing that. Selah

God is kind and loyal to the people who trust him,

so may he help me.

4 Men who are as dangerous as lions are all around me.

I have no safe place to sleep far away from those men who are trying to kill me.

They say things about me that make other people want to harm me.

5 May you have the most glory, God,

of anyone in heaven or on earth!

6 My enemies are trying to capture me, as if they had set out a net to trap me.

This has distressed me greatly.

Yes, they are trying to capture me, as if they had dug a deep pit along the path where I walk, hoping that I would fall into it.

But I believe that God will use what they are doing against them, as if they had fallen into that pit themselves. Selah

7 God, I trust you completely.

So instead of worrying, I will sing praises to you.

8 I will do that enthusiastically.

I will begin the day by praising you as I play my harp and lyre.

9 I will sing songs to praise you, Lord,

so that people of other nations can find out about you.

10 You deserve this praise because your kindness and loyalty are much greater than anything on earth,

just as the clouds in the sky are much higher than anything on earth.

11 May you have the most glory, God, of anyone in heaven or on earth!
