In You My Soul Takes Refuge For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktama of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. 1Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter to God who fulfills His purpose for me. 3He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. Selah God sends forth His loving devotion and His truth. 4My soul is among the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts— with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. 5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth. 6They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it! 7My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. Awake, O harp and lyre! 9I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples. 10For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds. 11Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth. Footnotes: 1 a Miktam is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 16 and 56–60. 2 b Hebrew Elohim-Elyon 8 c Or Awake, my soul!
