For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful{H2603} unto me, O God,{H430} be merciful{H2603} unto me; For my soul{H5315} taketh refuge{H2620} in thee: Yea, in the shadow{H6738} of thy wings{H3671} will I take refuge,{H2620} Until [these] calamities{H1942} be overpast.{H5674}

I will cry{H7121} unto God{H430} Most High,{H5945} Unto God{H410} that performeth{H1584} [all things] for me.

He will send{H7971} from heaven,{H8064} and save{H3467} me, [When] he that would swallow me up{H7602} reproacheth;{H2778} {H5542} God{H430} will send forth{H7971} his lovingkindness{H2617} and his truth.{H571}

My soul{H5315} is among{H8432} lions;{H3833} I lie{H7901} among 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}

Be thou exalted,{H7311} O God,{H430} above the heavens;{H8064} [Let] thy glory{H3519} [be] above all the earth.{H776}

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; They are fallen{H5307} into the midst{H8432} thereof themselves. {H5542}

My heart{H3820} is fixed,{H3559} O God,{H430} my heart{H3820} is fixed:{H3559} I will sing,{H7891} yea, I will sing praises.{H2167}

Awake up,{H5782} my glory;{H3519} Awake,{H5782} psaltery{H5035} and harp:{H3658} I myself will awake{H5782} right early.{H7837}

I will give thanks{H3034} unto thee, O Lord,{H136} among the peoples:{H5971} I will sing{H2167} praises unto thee among the nations.{H3816}

For thy lovingkindness{H2617} is great{H1419} unto the heavens,{H8064} And thy truth{H571} unto the skies.{H7834}

Be thou exalted,{H7311} O God,{H430} above the heavens;{H8064} [Let] thy glory{H3519} [be] above all the earth.{H776}
