(A)A Prayer for Help[a]

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.

I call to God, the Most High,
    to God, who supplies my every need.
He will answer from heaven and save me;
    he will defeat my oppressors.
    God will show me his constant love and faithfulness.
