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 trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.+ 2I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.+ 3He shall send from heaven, and save from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.+ 4My soul is among lions: and I lie even 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, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.+ 7My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.+ 8Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.+ 9I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.+ 10For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.+ 11Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.+
