I will cry unto God Most High; unto God that performeth all things for me.

They have prepared a net for my steps; thy soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. Selah

For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the skies.

For the Chief Musician; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David: Michtam. Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.

For the Chief Musician; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David: Michtam: when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: set me on high from them that rise up against me.

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the mighty gather themselves together against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

O my strength, I will wait upon thee: for God is my high tower.

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for cursing and lying which they speak.

They shall wander up and down for meat and tarry all night if they be not satisfied.

But I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.

Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing praises: for God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.

For the Chief Musician; set to Shushan Eduth: Michtam of David, to teach: when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down; thou hast been angry; O restore us again.

Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

Give us help against the adversary: for vain is the help of man.

Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our adversaries.

For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah
