- {To the chief Musician.
'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul in the cave.} Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take refuge, until the calamities be overpast.
- 2
- I will call unto God, the Most High;
unto God that performeth [all] for me.
- 3
- He will send from the heavens and save me;
he hath covered with reproach him that would swallow me up. Selah. God hath sent forth his loving-kindness and his truth.
- 4
- My soul is in the midst of lions;
I lie down [among] them that breathe out flames, the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
- 5
- Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
let thy glory be above all the earth!
- 6
- They have prepared a net for my steps;
my soul was bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof. Selah.
- 7
- My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms.
- 8
- Awake, my glory;
awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
- 9
- I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Lord;
of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:
- 10
- For thy loving-kindness is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
- 11
- Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
let thy glory be above all the earth!
