In You My Soul Takes Refuge
1 Samuel 22:1–5; Psalm 108:1–13; Psalm 142:1–7
1Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.+ 2I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.+ 3He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.+ 4My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.+ 5Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!+ 6They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves. Selah.+ 7My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.+ 8Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.+ 9I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.+ 10For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.+ 11Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.+
