A prayer for help^[a]

57 God, please be kind to me and help me!
    Please help me!
I have come to you to keep me safe.
Until the danger has gone, keep me near to you,
    in the way that birds protect their babies under their wings.
²I will call to the Most High God to help me.
    He is the God who stands beside me.
³He will send help from heaven
    and he will save me.
He will punish the people who attack me.
Selah.
God will show me his faithful love,
    and he will do what he has promised.
