1For the leader. Set to “Do Not Destroy.” By David, a mikhtam, when he fled from Sha’ul into the cave:
2Show me favor, God, show me favor;
for in you I have taken refuge.
Yes, I will find refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the storms have passed.
3I call to God, the Most High,
to God, who is accomplishing his purpose for me.
4He will send from heaven and save me
when those who would trample me down mock me. (Selah)
God will send his grace and his truth.
5I am surrounded by lions,
I am lying down among people breathing fire,
men whose teeth are spears and arrows
and their tongues sharp-edged swords.
6Be exalted, God, above heaven!
May your glory be over all the earth!
7They prepared a snare for my feet,
but I am bending over [to avoid it].
They dug a pit ahead of me,
but they fell into it themselves. (Selah)
8My heart is steadfast, God, steadfast.
I will sing and make music.
9Awake, my glory! Awake, lyre and lute!
I will awaken the dawn.
10I will thank you, Adonai, among the peoples;
I will make music to you among the nations.
11For your grace is great, all the way to heaven,
and your truth, all the way to the skies.
12Be exalted, God, above heaven!
May your glory be over all the earth!

1 Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title.
2 If, truly and certainly, you speak justice, then judge what is right, you sons of men.
3 For, even in your heart, you work iniquity. Your hands construct injustice on the earth.
4 Sinners have become foreigners from the womb; they have gone astray from conception. They have been speaking falsehoods.
5 Their fury is similar to that of a serpent; it is like a deaf asp, who even blocks her ears,
6 who will not listen to the voice of charmers, nor even to the enchanter who chants wisely.
7 God will crush their teeth within their own mouth. The Lord will break the molars of the lions.
8 They will come to nothing, like water flowing away. He has aimed his bow, while they are being weakened.
9 Like wax that flows, they will be carried away. Fire has fallen upon them, and they will not see the sun.
10 Before your thorns could know the brier, he consumes them alive, as if in rage.
11 The just one will rejoice when he sees vindication. He will wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
12 And man will say, "If the just one is fruitful, then, truly, there is a God judging them on earth."
