Psalms

¹ For the choir director. Al-tashheth. Of David. A Mikhtam. When he fled from Saul in the cave. Be gracious to me, O 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.

² To God who accomplishes all things for me.

³ He reproaches him who tramples upon me. Selah. God will send His lovingkindness and His truth.

⁴ I am lying down among those who breathe forth fire, Sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows And their tongue a sharp sword.

⁵ Let Your glory be above all the earth.

⁶ My soul is bowed down; They dug a pit before me; They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.

⁷ I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!

⁸ Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

⁹ I will sing praises to You among the nations.

¹⁰ And Your truth to the skies.

¹¹ Let Your glory be above all the earth.
