Be merciful unto me, O God Thus the psalmist prays, and looks to God for help, when surrounded with enemies: and he repeats his petition because of the greatness of his danger, and through the fervency of his spirit in his request, withal implying that his whole hope and trust was in God's mercy. Yea, in the shadow of thy wings In thy almighty protection; will I make my refuge Will I still depend, as I have hitherto done, for defence and preservation; until these calamities be overpast Or the time of these calamities, which I know will soon have an end: or till this danger be past, which is now impending over me, and threatens to destroy me.
