[1] For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave.
[2] Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me, for in Thee hath my soul taken refuge; yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I take refuge, until calamities be overpast.
[3] I will cry unto God Most high; unto God that accomplisheth it for me.
[4] He will send from heaven, and save me, when he that would swallow me up taunteth; Selah; God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
[5] My soul is among lions, I do lie down among them that are aflame; even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
[6] Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
[7] They have prepared a net for my steps, my soul is bowed down; they have digged a pit before me, they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. Selah
[8] My heart is stedfast, O God, my heart is stedfast; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
[9] Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.
[10] I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.
[11] For Thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth unto the skies.
[12] Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
