  • Ps 57:1-9 : 1 To the chief musician: Do not destroy. A miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. 2 Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, for in You my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until calamities pass by. 3 I will call to God Most High, to God who accomplishes His purpose for me. 4 He will send help from heaven and save me; He reproaches those who pursue me. Selah. God will send His steadfast love and His faithfulness. 5 My soul is among lions; I lie down among fiery beasts, the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongues are sharp swords. 6 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let Your glory be over all the earth. 7 They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my path, but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah. 8 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music. 9 Awake, my glory! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. 10 I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the nations. 11 For Your steadfast love is great up to the heavens, and Your faithfulness up to the clouds.
  • Ps 142:1-7 : 1 A contemplative poem of David, when he was in the cave, a prayer. 2 I cry out to the LORD with my voice; with my voice I plead for mercy to the LORD. 3 I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare my troubles to Him. 4 When my spirit grows faint within me, You know my path. In the way where I walk, they have hidden a trap for me. 5 Look to the right and see—no one recognizes me; there is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul. 6 I cry to You, LORD; I say, 'You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.' 7 Listen to my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.

Isn’t he the one they sing about in their dances, saying, "Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands"?' 13 David took these words to heart and was very afraid of Achish king of Gath. 14 So he changed his behavior before them and acted like a madman in their presence.
