Refuge in the Shadow of Your Wings
(Psalm 57:7-11 parallels Psalm 108:1-5)

Heading

For the choir director. “Do Not Destroy.”[a] By David. A miktam.
When he fled from Saul. In the cave.[b]

The Opening Plea

1 Have mercy on me, O God,
have mercy on me,
because my soul has taken refuge in you.
In the shadow of your wings I will take refuge
    until destruction has passed by.
2 I call to God Most High,
to God, who completes his plans for me.[c]
