To you my soul takes refuge

(1 Samuel 22:1-5; Psalm 108:1-13; Psalm 142:1-7)
1
Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into the cave. [1 Kings 24]
2
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: for my soul trusteth in thee. And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until iniquity pass away.
3
I will cry to God the most High; to God who hath done good to me.
4
He hath sent from heaven and delivered me: he hath made them a reproach that trod upon me. God hath sent his mercy and his truth,
5
And he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men, whose teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
6
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.
7
They prepared a snare for my feet; and they bowed down my soul. They dug a pit before my face, and they are fallen into it.
8
My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will Sing, and rehearse a psalm.
9
Arise, O my glory, arise psaltery and harp: I will arise early.
10
I will give praise to thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing a psalm to thee among the nations.
11
For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: and thy truth unto the clouds.
12
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth.

To you my soul takes refuge

(1 Samuel 22:1-5; Psalm 108:1-13; Psalm 142:1-7)
1
Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
2
I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
3
He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
4
My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5
Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!
6
They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves. Selah.
7
My heart is steadfast, God. My heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
8
Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.
9
I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10
For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
11
Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
