He sends from heaven and saves me,(A)
    rebuking those who hotly pursue me—[a](B)
    God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.(C)

    I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
    whose tongues are sharp swords.(E)

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
    let your glory be over all the earth.(F)

He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
