To the chief Musician, Altaschith
, Michtam
of David
, when he fled
from
Saul
in the cave
. Be merciful
unto me, O God
, be merciful
unto me: for my soul
trusteth
in thee: yea, in the shadow
of thy wings
will I make my refuge
, until these calamities
be overpast
.
I will cry unto God
most high
; unto God
that performeth
all things for me.
He shall send from heaven
, and save
me from the reproach
of him that would swallow me up
. Selah
. God
shall send forth
his mercy
and his truth
.
My soul is among
lions
: and I lie
even among them that are set on fire
, even the sons
of men
, whose teeth
are spears
and arrows
, and their tongue
a sharp
sword
.
Be thou exalted, O God
, above the heavens
; let thy glory
be above all the earth
.
They have prepared a net
for my steps
; my soul
is bowed down
: they have digged
a pit
before
me, into the midst
whereof they are fallen
themselves . Selah
.
My heart is fixed
, O God
, my heart
is fixed
: I will sing
and give praise
.
Awake up, my glory
; awake
, psaltery
and harp
: I myself will awake
early
.
I will praise thee, O Lord
, among the people
: I will sing
unto thee among the nations
.
For thy mercy is great
unto the heavens
, and thy truth
unto the clouds
.
Be thou exalted, O God
, above the heavens
: let thy glory
be above all the earth
.
