- Ps 57:1-9 : 1 > Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, For my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, Until disaster has passed. 2 I cry out to God Most High, To God who accomplishes my requests for me. 3 He will send from heaven, and save me, He rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth. 4 My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword. 5 Be exalted, 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 dig a pit before me. They fall into the midst of it themselves.

- Ps 142:1-7 : 1 > I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy. 2 I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles. 3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path. In the way in which I walk, They have hidden a snare for me. 4 Look on my right, and see; For there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul. 5 I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, "You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living." 6 Listen to my cry, For I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me. 7 Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, For you will be good to me.
