A Prayer for Help+u
57 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful,
because I come to you for safety.
In the shadow of your wings I find protection
until the raging storms are over.
2I call to God, the Most High,
to God, who supplies my every need.
3He will answer from heaven and save me;
he will defeat my oppressors.
God will show me his constant love and faithfulness.
