For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.

[1] Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me,
for my soul takes refuge in you.
Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge,
until disaster has passed.
[2] I cry out to God Most High,
to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
[3] He will send from heaven, and save me,
he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah.
God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
[4] My soul is among lions.
I lie among those who are set on fire,
even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows,
and their tongue a sharp sword.
[5] Be exalted, God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be above all the earth! [6] They have prepared a net for my steps.
My soul is bowed down.
They dig a pit before me.
They fall into the middle of it themselves. Selah.
[7] My heart is steadfast, God.
My heart is steadfast.
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
[8] Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp!
I will wake up the dawn.
[9] I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples.
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
[10] For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens,
and your truth to the skies.
[11] Be exalted, God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth.
