Prayer for Rescue from Persecutors.
For the music director; set toAl-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
1[472][473][474] Be gracious to me, 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.
2I will cry to God Most High, To God who accomplishes all things for me.
3He will send from heaven and save me; He rebukes the one who [475]tramples upon me. God will send His [476]favor and His truth.
3Selah
4My soul is among lions; I must lie among those who devour, Among sons of mankind whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue is a sharp sword.
5Be exalted above the heavens, God; May Your glory be above all the earth.
6They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They dug a pit before me; They themselves have fallen into the midst of it.
7My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
8Awake, my glory! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the [477]nations.
10For Your goodness is great to the heavens And Your [478]truth to the clouds.
11Be exalted above the heavens, God; May Your glory be above all the earth.
