1 For the music director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me, For my soul takes refuge in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge Until destruction passes by. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by. For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam. When he had fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.
2 I will cry to God Most High, To God who accomplishes all things for me. I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me. I cry out to God Most High, to God, who vindicates me.
3 He will send from heaven and save me; He rebukes the one who tramples upon me. Selah God will send His favor and His truth. He will send from heaven and save me; he will put to shame him who tramples on me. Selah God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness! He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me— God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.
4 My soul is among lions; I must lie among those who devour, Among sons of mankind whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue is a sharp sword. My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down amid fiery beasts— the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. I am in the midst of lions; I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts— men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, God; May Your glory be above all the earth. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They dug a pit before me; They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my way, but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah They spread a net for my feet— I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path— but they have fallen into it themselves.
7 My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises! My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.
8 Awake, my glory! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the nations. I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations. I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For Your goodness is great to the heavens And Your truth to the clouds. For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11 Be exalted above the heavens, God; May Your glory be above all the earth. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
