1. TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN HIS FLEEING FROM THE FACE OF SAUL INTO A CAVE. Favor me, O God, favor me, for my soul is trusting in You, and I trust in the shadow of Your wings, until the calamities pass over.

2. I call to God Most High, to God who is perfecting for me.

3. He sends from the heavens, and saves me, he reproached the one who is panting after me. Selah. God sends forth His kindness and His truth.

4. My soul is in the midst of lions, i lie down among flames—sons of men, their teeth are a spear and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

5. Be exalted above the heavens, O God, your glory above all the earth.

6. They have prepared a net for my steps, my soul has bowed down, they have dug a pit before me, they have fallen into its midst. Selah.

7. My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared, i sing and praise.

8. Awake, my glory, awake, stringed instrument and harp, i awake the morning dawn.

9. I thank You among the peoples, O Lord, i praise You among the nations.

10. For Your kindness is great to the heavens, and Your truth to the clouds.

11. Be exalted above the heavens, O God. Your glory above all the earth!
