To the chief Musician[H5329], Altaschith[H516], Michtam[H4387] of David[H1732], when he fled[H1272]from[H6440]Saul[H7586] in the cave[H4631]. Be merciful[H2603] unto me, O God[H430], be merciful[H2603] unto me: for my soul[H5315]trusteth[H2620] in thee: yea, in the shadow[H6738] of thy wings[H3671] will I make my refuge[H2620], until these calamities[H1942] be overpast[H5674].
2
I will cry[H7121] unto God[H430] most high[H5945]; unto God[H410] that performeth[H1584] all things for me.
3
He shall send[H7971] from heaven[H8064], and save[H3467] me from the reproach[H2778] of him that would swallow me up[H7602]. Selah[H5542]. God[H430] shall send[H7971]forth[H7971] his mercy[H2617] and his truth[H571].
4
My soul[H5315] is among[H8432]lions[H3833]: and I lie[H7901] even among[H8432] them that are set on fire[H3857], even the sons[H1121] of men[H120], whose teeth[H8127] are spears[H2595] and arrows[H2671], and their tongue[H3956] a sharp[H2299]sword[H2719].
5
Be thou exalted[H7311], O God[H430], above the heavens[H8064]; let thy glory[H3519] be above all the earth[H776].
6
They have prepared[H3559] a net[H7568] for my steps[H6471]; my soul[H5315] is bowed down[H3721]: they have digged[H3738] a pit[H7882]before[H6440] me, into the midst[H8432] whereof they are fallen[H5307] themselves. Selah[H5542].
7
My heart[H3820] is fixed[H3559], O God[H430], my heart[H3820] is fixed[H3559]: I will sing[H7891] and give praise[H2167].
8Awake[H5782]up[H5782], my glory[H3519]; awake[H5782], psaltery[H5035] and harp[H3658]: I myself will awake[H5782]early[H7837].
9
I will praise[H3034] thee, O Lord[H136], among the people[H5971]: I will sing[H2167] unto thee among the nations[H3816].
10
For thy mercy[H2617] is great[H1419] unto the heavens[H8064], and thy truth[H571] unto the clouds[H7834].
11
Be thou exalted[H7311], O God[H430], above the heavens[H8064]: let thy glory[H3519] be above all the earth[H776].
