In You My Soul Takes Refuge
1 Samuel 22:1–5; Psalm 108:1–13; Psalm 142:1–7
1Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; For my soul taketh refuge in thee: Yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I take refuge, Until [these] calamities be overpast.+ 2I will cry unto God Most High, Unto God that performeth [all things] for me.+ 3He will send from heaven, and save me, [When] he that would swallow me up reproacheth;[Selah God will send forth his lovingkindness and his truth.+ 4My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.+ 5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [Let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.+ 6They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down: They have digged a pit before me; They are fallen into the midst thereof themselves.[Selah+ 7My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.+ 8Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.+ 9I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.+ 10For thy lovingkindness is great unto the heavens, And thy truth unto the skies.+ 11Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [Let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.+
