To the one conducting. Do Not Destroy. Of David. A Miktam. When he fled from before Saul in the cave.1Be gracious to me, O God; be gracious to me, for my soul has sought refuge in you, and in the shadow of your wings I will seek refuge until the desires pass.2I will call to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.3He will send from heaven and save me; he has taunted my crusher. Selah. God will send his kindness and his truth.4My soul lies in the midst of lions; I will lie down among kindlers, sons of man; their teeth are a spear and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.5Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let your glory be above all the earth.6They have prepared a net for my steps; he has bent down my soul; they have dug a pit before me; they have fallen into its midst. Selah.7My heart is prepared, O God; my heart is prepared; I will sing and make music.8Awake, my glory; awake, O harp and lyre; I will awaken the dawn.9I will give thanks to you among the peoples, O Lord; I will sing praises to you among the nations.10For your kindness is great as far as the heavens, and your truth reaches to the clouds.11Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let your glory be above all the earth.
