Translation

(1) For the Leader; Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David; Michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave.

(2) Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me, for in Thee hath my soul taken refuge; yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I take refuge, until calamities be overpast.

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

(4) He will send from heaven, and save me, when he that would swallow me up taunteth, Selah; God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.

(5) My soul is among lions, I do lie down among them that are aflame; Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

(6) Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.

(7) They have prepared a net for my steps, My soul is bowed down; They have digged a pit before me, They are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. Selah

(8) My heart is stedfast, O God, my heart is stedfast; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.

(9) Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn.

(10) I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.

(11) For Thy mercy is great unto the heavens, And Thy truth unto the skies.

(12) Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Thy glory be above all the earth.
