Musician,
Altaschith,
Michtam
of
David,
when
he
fled
from
Saul
in
the
cave.
Be
merciful
unto
me,
O
God,
be
merciful
unto
me:
for
my
soul
trusteth
in
thee:
yea,
in
the
shadow
of
thy
wings
will
I
make
my
refuge,
until
[these]
calamities
be
overpast.
2
I
will
cry
unto
God
most
high;
unto
God
that
performeth
[all
things]
for
3
He
shall
send
from
heaven,
and
save
me
[from]
the
reproach
of
him
that
would
swallow
me
up.
Selah.
God
shall
send
forth
his
mercy
and
his
truth.
4
My
soul
[is]
among
lions:
[and]
I
lie
[even
among]
them
that
are
set
on
fire,
[even]
the
sons
of
men,
whose
teeth
[are]
spears
and
arrows,
and
their
tongue
a
sharp
sword.
5
Be
thou
exalted,
O
God,
above
the
heavens;
[let]
thy
glory
[be]
above
all
the
earth.
6
They
have
prepared
a
net
for
my
steps;
my
soul
is
bowed
down:
they
have
digged
a
pit
before
me,
into
the
midst
whereof
they
are
fallen
[themselves].
Selah.
7
My
heart
is
fixed,
O
God,
my
heart
is
fixed:
I
will
sing
and
give
praise.
8
Awake
up,
my
glory;
awake,
psaltery
and
harp:
I
[myself]
will
awake
early.
9
I
will
praise
thee,
O
Lord,
among
the
people:
I
will
sing
unto
thee
among
the
nations.
10
For
thy
mercy
[is]
great
unto
the
heavens,
and
thy
truth
unto
the
clouds.
11
Be
thou
exalted,
O
God,
above
the
heavens:
[let]
thy
glory
[be]
above
all
the
earth.
