Psalm 57(A)

For the Music Director. To the melody of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David when he fled from Saul in the cave.

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me!
    For my soul seeks refuge in You;
in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge,
    until the ruinous storm passes by.

I will cry to God Most High,
    to God who vindicates me.
