[[To him that excelleth.] Destroy not. A Psalm Chapter of David on Michtam. When he fled from Saul in the cave.]
[1] Have mercy upon me, O God, have mercy upon me: for my soul trusteth in thee, and in the shadow of thy wings will I trust, till these afflictions overpass.
[2] I will call unto the Most High God, even to the God, that performeth his promise toward me.
[3] He will send from heaven, and save me from the reproof of him that would swallow me. Selah. God will send his mercy, and his truth.
[4] My soul is among lions: I lie among the children of men, that are set on fire: whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
[5] Exalt thyself, O God, above the heaven, and let thy glory be upon all the earth.
[6] They have laid a net for my steps: my soul is pressed down: they have digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the midst of it. Selah.
[7] Mine heart is prepared, O God, mine heart is prepared: I will sing and give praise.
[8] Awake my tongue, awake viol and harp: I will awake early.
[9] I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I will sing unto thee among the nations.
[10] For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
[11] Exalt thyself, O God, above the heavens, and let thy glory be upon all the earth.
