God will come and save me
Tell the leader of the choir to play the same music as the song: ‘Do not destroy’. This is a song of David that he wrote after he had to hide from King Saul in a cave.
1O God, please have mercy on me,
and be gracious because I ask You to protect me.
I come and hide with You
like chicks that hide under
a hen's wings until the danger is gone.
2I call and ask You to help me.
You are the Most High God,
the God who does everything for me.
3You will put out your hand
from heaven and save me.
You will humiliate the people
who chase me. Selah
God, You will put out your hand
and save me.
You are God who is faithful
and who will always love me.
4My enemies are like lions
all around me,
lions that are hungry and want to kill.
Their teeth are like spears.
Their tongues and the things they say
are like sharp swords.
5O God, please show everyone
that You are the Great_King
in heaven and on earth.
Let them see your glory.
6My enemies want to
catch me like a bird in a trap.
I was worried because
they dug a hole
in the ground for me,
but they have fallen into the hole themselves. Selah
7O God, I will always
belong to You and praise You
and sing and make music.
8I want to get up,
I want to take my harp and lyre
and sing before the sun comes up.
9I want to thank You
in front of all the people,
and I want to praise your name
among the nations.
10Because your love
is higher than heaven,
and it never changes.
You are a faithful God.
Your loyalty goes so far
that it touches the clouds.
11O God, please show everyone
that You are the Great_King
in heaven and on earth.
Let them see your glory.
