Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
till the storms of destruction pass by.
I cry out to God Most High,
to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
He will send from heaven and save me;
he will put to shame him who tramples on me. Selah
God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness!
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
till the storms of destruction pass by.
I cry out to God Most High,

My soul is in the midst of lions;
I lie down amid fiery beasts—
the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.
I lie down amid fiery beasts—
the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
They set a net for my steps;
my soul was bowed down.
They dug a pit in my way,
but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah
My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
Awake, my glory!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
For your steadfast love is great to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.

This prayer has been prayed at the KZ Dachau. Over 12 years the inmates were praying this psalm in silence or shouting out.
This is over 67 jears ago, but as I was visiting this place with a very good friend of mine and we've been walking in quiet and peace, the light went through the huge trees, that have been witnessing this painful time. And as standing there surrounded and embraced by the nature, Love and Light were filling up my heart.
And as we walked through the door with the sign:
"Arbeit macht frei"
I turned around looking at this large drill ground, empty now. The sky was showing marvellous paintings and colors, and the wind efferesced up like to wave me out.
I went home, with the words that gave me hope:
In the shadow of your wings I take refuge.
In memorian my passed away jewish relatives.
