*For the choir director. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam, when he fled from Saul into the cave.*

1. Be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge until the destruction has passed by.
2. I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
3. He will send from heaven and save me; he rebukes the one who tramples on me. Selah. God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness.
4. My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down among those who breathe fire, human beings whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5. Be exalted above the heavens, God; let your glory be over all the earth.
6. They spread a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my path, but they themselves have fallen into it. Selah.
7. My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.
8. Wake up, my glory! Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake the dawn.
9. I will give you thanks among the peoples, Lord; I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10. For your steadfast love is great, reaching to the heavens, and your faithfulness to the clouds.
11. Be exalted above the heavens, God; let your glory be over all the earth.
