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
