- To him that excelleth.
Destroy not. A Psalme of Dauid on Michtam. When he fled from Saul in the caue.
- 1
- Haue mercie vpon me, O God, haue mercie vpon me: for my soule trusteth in thee, and in the shadowe of thy wings wil I trust, till these afflictions ouerpasse.
- 2
- I will call vnto the most high God, euen to the God, that performeth his promes toward me.
- 3
- He will send from heauen, and saue me from the reproofe of him that would swallowe me.
Selah. God wil send his mercy, and his trueth.
- 4
- My soule is among lions: I lie among the children of men, that are set on fire: whose teeth are speares and arrowes, & their tongue a sharpe sworde.
- 5
- Exalt thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauen, and let thy glory be vpon all the earth.
- 6
- They haue layd a net for my steps: my soule is pressed downe: they haue digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the mids of it.
Selah.
- 7
- Mine heart is prepared, O God, mine heart is prepared: I will sing and giue prayse.
- 8
- Awake my tongue, awake viole & harpe: I wil awake early.
