\d A psalm written by David for the choir director, when David went into a cave to escape from Saul; to be sung using the tune "Do not destroy."
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 God, act mercifully toward me!
|
|
\q1 Act mercifully toward me because I am coming to you to protect me.
|
|
\q2 I request you to protect me as little birds are protected under their mother's wings
|
|
\q2 until the storm is ended.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 God, you who are greater than all other gods,
|
|
\q2 I cry out to you, the one who enables me to be all that you desire.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 You will answer me from heaven and rescue me,
|
|
\q2 but you will cause those who oppress me to be defeated and disgraced!
|
|
|
|
\q2 God will always faithfully love me as he has promised me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Sometimes I am surrounded by my enemies, who are as ready to kill me as lions are to kill people;
|
|
\q2 they are like lions that chew to bits the animals that they kill.
|
|
\q1 But my enemies are human, and they have spears and arrows, not teeth;
|
|
\q2 they say false things about me.
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 God, show in the heavens that you are very great!
|
|
\q2 Show your glory to people all over the earth!
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 It is as if my enemies have spread a net to seize me,
|
|
\q2 and I became very distressed.
|
|
\q1 It is as if they have dug a deep pit along the path where I walk,
|
|
\q2 but they themselves fell into it!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 God, I am very confident in you.
|
|
\q1 I will sing to you,
|
|
\q2 and I will praise you while I sing.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 It is an honor to wake up and praise you.
|
|
\q2 I will arise before the sun rises
|
|
\q2 and praise you while I play my big harp or my lyre.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 Lord, I will thank you among all the people;
|
|
\q1 and I will sing songs of praise about you to many people groups.
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 10 For your love for us is as great as the distance from the earth to the sky,
|
|
\q2 and your faithfulness to us goes up to the clouds.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 God, show in the heavens that you are very great!
|
|
\q2 Show your glory to people all over the earth!
