2. I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

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

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! [1] who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
