## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
#### For the music director, according to the _al-tashcheth_ style; a prayer of David, written when he fled from Saul into the cave.
[[#Verse 01.]] Have mercy on me, O God. Have mercy on me.
For in you I have taken shelter.
In the shadow of your wings I take shelter
until trouble passes.
[[#Verse 02.]] I cry out for help to God Most High,
to the God who vindicates me.
[[#Verse 03.]] May he send help from heaven and deliver me
from my enemies who hurl insults. (Selah)
May God send his loyal love and faithfulness.
[[#Verse 04.]] I am surrounded by lions;
I lie down among those who want to devour me,
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.
[[#Verse 05.]] Rise up above the sky, O God.
May your splendor cover the whole earth.
[[#Verse 06.]] They have prepared a net to trap me;
I am discouraged.
They have dug a pit for me.
They will fall into it. (Selah)
[[#Verse 07.]] I am determined, O God. I am determined.
I will sing and praise you.
[[#Verse 08.]] Awake, my soul!
Awake, O stringed instrument and harp!
I will wake up at dawn.
[[#Verse 09.]] I will give you thanks before the nations, O Lord.
I will sing praises to you before foreigners.
[[#Verse 10.]] For your loyal love extends beyond the sky,
and your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
[[#Verse 11.]] Rise up above the sky, O God.
May your splendor cover the whole earth.
