0. To him that excelleth.<br>
Destroy not.<br>
A Psalme of Dauid on Michtam.<br>
When he fled from Saul in the caue.
1. Haue mercie vpon me, O God, haue mercie vpon me: for my soule trusteth in thee, and in the shadowe of thy wings wil I trust, till these afflictions ouerpasse.
2. I will call vnto the most high God, euen to the God, that performeth his promes toward me.
3. He will send from heauen, and saue me from the reproofe of him that would swallowe me. Selah. God wil send his mercy, and his trueth.
4. My soule is among lions: I lie among the children of men, that are set on fire: whose teeth are speares and arrowes, & their tongue a sharpe sworde.
5. Exalt thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauen, and let thy glory be vpon all the earth.
6. They haue layd a net for my steps: my soule is pressed downe: they haue digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the mids of it. Selah.
7. Mine heart is prepared, O God, mine heart is prepared: I will sing and giue prayse.
8. Awake my tongue, awake viole & harpe: I wil awake early.
9. I will prayse thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.
10. For thy mercie is great vnto the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the cloudes.
11. Exalt thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glory be vpon all the earth.
