To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.

1Be mercifulH2603 to me, O GodH430, be mercifulH2603 to me: for my soulH5315 trustethH2620 in thee: yea, in the shadowH6738 of thy wingsH3671 will I make my refugeH2620, until these calamitiesH1942 are past byH5674.12 2I will cryH7121 to GodH430 most highH5945; to GodH410 that performethH1584 all things for me. 3He shall sendH7971 from heavenH8064, and saveH3467 me from the reproachH2778 of him that would swallow me upH7602. SelahH5542. GodH430 shall send forthH7971 his mercyH2617 and his truthH571.3 4My soulH5315 is amongH8432 lionsH3833: and I lieH7901 even among them that are set on fireH3857, even the sonsH1121 of menH120, whose teethH8127 are spearsH2595 and arrowsH2671, and their tongueH3956 a sharpH2299 swordH2719. 5Be thou exaltedH7311, O GodH430, above the heavensH8064; let thy gloryH3519 be above all the earthH776. 6They have preparedH3559 a netH7568 for my stepsH6471; my soulH5315 is bowed downH3721: they have dugH3738 a pitH7882 beforeH6440 me, into the midstH8432 of which they have fallenH5307 themselves . SelahH5542.

7My heartH3820 is fixedH3559, O GodH430, my heartH3820 is fixedH3559: I will singH7891 and give praiseH2167.4 8AwakeH5782, my gloryH3519; awakeH5782, psalteryH5035 and harpH3658: I myself will awakeH5782 earlyH7837. 9I will praiseH3034 thee, O LordH136, among the peopleH5971: I will singH2167 to thee among the nationsH3816. 10For thy mercyH2617 is greatH1419 to the heavensH8064, and thy truthH571 to the cloudsH7834. 11Be thou exaltedH7311, O GodH430, above the heavensH8064: let thy gloryH3519 be above all the earthH776.
