1Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy! I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until the danger passes by.1For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.
2I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me.2I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.
3He will send help from heaven to rescue me, disgracing those who hound me. Interlude My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness.3He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. Selah God sends forth His loving devotion and His truth.
4I am surrounded by fierce lions who greedily devour human prey— whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows, and whose tongues cut like swords.4My soul is among the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts—with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens! May your glory shine over all the earth.5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
6My enemies have set a trap for me. I am weary from distress. They have dug a deep pit in my path, but they themselves have fallen into it. Interlude6They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it! Selah
7My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises!7My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.
8Wake up, my heart! Wake up, O lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song.8Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9I will thank you, Lord, among all the people. I will sing your praises among the nations.9I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
10For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.10For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.
11Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth.11Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
