[Verse 1] Be merciful unto me, O God Be merciful unto me My soul trusteth in thee In the shadow of thy wings I make my refuge Till these calamities pass [Pre-Chorus] I cry unto God most high Unto God that performs for me He shall send from heaven And save me, save me [Chorus] Be thou exalted, O God Above the heavens Let thy glory rise Above all the earth Be thou exalted, O God Above the heavens Let thy glory rise Above all the earth [Verse 2] My soul is among lions I lie among the flames Sons of men with sharpened tongues Their teeth are spears and arrows They lay a net for my steps But they fall in their own pit [Pre-Chorus] My heart is fixed, O God My heart is fixed on You I will sing and give praise I will sing and give praise [Chorus] Be thou exalted, O God Above the heavens Let thy glory rise Above all the earth Be thou exalted, O God Above the heavens Let thy glory rise Above all the earth [Bridge] Awake up, my glory Awake, psaltery and harp I myself will wake early I will praise among the people I will sing among the nations For Thy mercy reaches heaven [Final Chorus] Be thou exalted, O God Above the heavens Let thy glory rise Above all the earth Be thou exalted, O God Above the heavens Let thy glory rise Above all the earth My heart is fixed, O God I will sing and give praise
