Prayer for Rescue from Persecutors. For the music director; set to [a]Al-tashheth. A [b]Mikhtam of David, [c]when he fled from Saul in the cave. 1Be 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 [d]tramples upon me. Selah God will send His [e]favor and His truth.
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. Selah
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 [f]nations.
10For Your goodness is great to the heavens And Your [g]truth to the clouds.
11Be exalted above the heavens, God; May Your glory be above all the earth.
