1To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam[1] of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by. (撒上22:1; 撒上24:1; 诗4:1; 诗16:1; 诗17:8; 诗56:1; 诗58:1; 诗59:1; 诗75:1; 诗91:4; 诗142:1; 赛26:20)2I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me. (诗138:8)3He will send from heaven and save me; he will put to shame him who tramples on me. God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness! (诗18:16; 诗36:5; 诗40:11; 诗43:3; 诗56:1; 诗144:5; 诗144:7)4My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down amid fiery beasts— the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. (诗52:2; 诗55:21; 诗58:6; 诗59:7; 诗64:3; 箴12:18; 箴30:14; 耶9:8)5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! (诗108:5; 诗113:4)6They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my way, but they have fallen into it themselves. (伯18:8; 诗7:15; 诗145:14; 诗146:8)7My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! (诗108:1; 诗112:7)8Awake, my glory![2] Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! (士5:12; 代上15:16; 诗16:9)9I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.10For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. (诗36:5)11Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! (诗57:5)
