I will cry unto God Most high; unto God that accomplisheth it for me.

They have prepared a net for my steps, my soul is bowed down;

For Thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth unto the skies. Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.

For the Leader; Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David; Michtam.

The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'

For the Leader; Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David; Michtam; when Saul sent,

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the impudent gather themselves together against me;

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

Because of his strength, I will wait for Thee; for God is my high tower.

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips,

But as for me, I will sing of Thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning; O my strength, unto Thee will I sing praises; for God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.

For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach;

Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.

Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts. Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.

For the Leader; with string-music. [A Psalm] of David.

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.

I will dwell in Thy Tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings. Selah

For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows; Thou hast granted the heritage of those that fear Thy name.

May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him. So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
