Dual Panel1For the music director <05329>; according to the al-tashcheth style <0516>; a prayer <04387> of David <01732>, written when he fled <01272> from <06440> Saul <07586> into the cave <04631>. Have mercy <02603> on me, O God <0430>! Have mercy <02603> on me! For <03588> in you I have taken shelter <05315> <02620>. In the shadow <06738> of your wings <03671> I take shelter <02620> until <05704> trouble <01942> passes <05674>.
2I cry out <07121> for help to the sovereign <05945> God <0430>, to the God <0410> who vindicates <01584> me.
3May he send <07971> help from heaven <08064> and deliver <03467> me from my enemies who hurl <07602> insults <02778>! (Selah <05542>) May God <0430> send <07971> his loyal love <02617> and faithfulness <0571>!
4I <05315> am surrounded by lions <03833>; I lie down <07901> among <08432> those who want to devour <03857> me; men <0120> whose teeth <08127> are spears <02595> and arrows <02671>, whose tongues <03956> are a sharp <02299> sword <02719>.
5Rise up <07311> above <05921> the sky <08064>, O God <0430>! May your splendor <03519> cover <05921> the whole <03605> earth <0776>!
6They have prepared <03559> a net <07568> to trap <06471> me; I <05315> am discouraged <03721>. They have dug <03738> a pit <07882> for <06440> me. They will fall <05307> into <08432> it! (Selah <05542>)
7I am determined <03820> <03559>, O God <0430>! I am determined <03820> <03559>! I will sing <07891> and praise <02167> you!
8Awake <05782>, my soul <03519>! Awake <05782>, O stringed instrument <05035> and harp <03658>! I will wake up <05782> at dawn <07837>!
9I will give you thanks <03034> before the nations <05971>, O Master <0136>! I will sing praises <02167> to you before foreigners <03816>!
10For <03588> your loyal love <02617> extends <01419> beyond <05704> the sky <08064>, and your faithfulness <0571> reaches <05704> the clouds <07834>.
11Rise up <07311> above <05921> the sky <08064>, O God <0430>! May your splendor <03519> cover <05921> the whole <03605> earth <0776>!
