For the choir director; set to ^[a]Al-tashheth. A ^[b]Mikhtam of David, ^[c]when he fled from Saul in the cave.

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, For my soul ^(a)takes refuge in You; And in the ^(b)shadow of Your wings I will take refuge Until destruction ^(c)passes by.

I will cry to God Most High, To God who ^(d)accomplishes all things for me.

He will ^(e)send from heaven and save me; He reproaches him who ^[d](f)tramples upon me. ^[e]Selah. God will send forth His ^(g)lovingkindness and His ^[f]truth.

My soul is among ^(h)lions; I must lie among those who breathe forth fire, Even the sons of men, whose ⁽ⁱ⁾teeth are spears and arrows And their ^(j)tongue a sharp sword.

^(k)Be exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory be above all the earth.

They have ^[g]prepared a ^(l)net for my steps; My soul is ^(m)bowed down; They ⁽ⁿ⁾dug a pit before me; They themselves have ^(o)fallen into the midst of it. Selah.

^(p)My ^(q)heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!

Awake, ^(r)my glory! Awake, ^(s)harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

^(t)I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the ^[h]nations.

For Your ^(u)lovingkindness is great to the heavens And Your ^[i]truth to the clouds.

^(v)Be exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory be above all the earth.
