1For the Leader; Al Tashkhet. By David; A Mikhtam; when he fled from Sha’ul, in the cave.
2Be gracious unto me, O Elohim, be gracious unto me, for in You has my soul taken refuge; yes, in the shadow of Your wings will I take refuge, until calamities are overpast.
3I will cry unto Elohim, Elyon; unto Elohim that accomplishes it for me.
4He will send from heaven, and save me, when he that would swallow me up taunts; Selah. Elohim shall send forth His compassion and His truth.
5My 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.
6Be exalted, O Elohim, above the heavens; Your Kavod is above all the earth.
7They 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.
8My heart is stedfast, O Elohim, my heart is stedfast; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
9Awake, my glory; awake, Nevel and Kinor; I will awaken the dawn.
10I will give thanks unto You, O Adonai, among the peoples; I will sing praises unto You among the nations.
11For Your compassion is great unto the heavens, and Your truth unto the skies.
12Be exalted, O Elohim, above the heavens; Your glory is above all the earth.
אלַמְנַצֵּחַ אַל תַּשְׁחֵת לְדָוִד מִכְתָּם בְּבָרְחוֹ מִפְּנֵי שָׁאוּל בַּמְּעָרָה.
בחָנֵּנִי אֱלֹהִים חָנֵּנִי כִּי בְךָ חָסָיָה נַפְשִׁי: וּבְצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ אֶחְסֶה עַד יַעֲבֹר הַוּוֹת.
גאֶקְרָא לֵאלֹהִים עֶלְיוֹן; לָאֵל גֹּמֵר עָלָי.
דיִשְׁלַח מִשָּׁמַיִם וְיוֹשִׁיעֵנִי חֵרֵף שֹׁאֲפִי סֶלָה; יִשְׁלַח אֱלֹהִים חַסְדּוֹ וַאֲמִתּוֹ.
הנַפְשִׁי בְּתוֹךְ לְבָאִם אֶשְׁכְּבָה לֹהֲטִים: בְּנֵי אָדָם שִׁנֵּיהֶם חֲנִית וְחִצִּים; וּלְשׁוֹנָם חֶרֶב חַדָּה.
ורוּמָה עַל הַשָּׁמַיִם אֱלֹהִים; עַל כָּל הָאָרֶץ כְּבוֹדֶךָ.
זרֶשֶׁת הֵכִינוּ לִפְעָמַי כָּפַף נַפְשִׁי: כָּרוּ לְפָנַי שִׁיחָה; נָפְלוּ בְתוֹכָהּ סֶלָה.
חנָכוֹן לִבִּי אֱלֹהִים נָכוֹן לִבִּי; אָשִׁירָה וַאֲזַמֵּרָה.
טעוּרָה כְבוֹדִי עוּרָה הַנֵּבֶל וְכִנּוֹר; אָעִירָה שָּׁחַר.
יאוֹדְךָ בָעַמִּים אֲדֹנָי; אֲזַמֶּרְךָ בַּלְאֻמִּים.
יאכִּי גָדֹל עַד שָׁמַיִם חַסְדֶּךָ; וְעַד שְׁחָקִים אֲמִתֶּךָ.
יברוּמָה עַל שָׁמַיִם אֱלֹהִים; עַל כָּל הָאָרֶץ כְּבוֹדֶךָ.
