In You My Soul Takes Refuge
1 Samuel 22:1–5; Psalm 108:1–13; Psalm 142:1–7
1Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.+ 2I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.+ 3He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. Selah God sends forth His loving devotion and His truth.+ 4My soul is among the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts— with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.+ 5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.+ 6They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it! Selah+ 7My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.+ 8Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.+ 9I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.+ 10For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.+ 11Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.+
