| 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. |
