For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
For my soul takes refuge in You;
And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge
Until destruction passes by.
To God who accomplishes all things for me.
He reproaches him who tramples upon me.
Selah.
God will send forth His lovingkindness and His truth.
I must lie among those who breathe forth fire,
Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows
And their tongue a sharp sword.
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
My soul is bowed down;
They dug a pit before me;
They themselves have fallen into the midst of it.
Selah.
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
I will sing praises to You among the nations.
And Your truth to the clouds.
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
