1  ^lBe merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,

for in you my soul ^mtakes refuge;

in ⁿthe shadow of your wings I will take refuge,

^otill the storms of destruction pass by.

4  He will ^gcover you with his pinions,

and under his ^hwings you will ⁱfind refuge;

his ^jfaithfulness is ^ka shield and buckler.
