Let Your Glory Be over All the Earth
To the choirmaster: according to aDo Not Destroy. A bMiktam of David, when he fled from Saul, in cthe cave.
dBe merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul etakes refuge;
in fthe shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
gtill the storms of destruction pass by.
2 I cry out to God Most High,
to God who afulfills his purpose for me.
3 aHe will send from heaven and save me;
he will put to shame bhim who tramples on me. Selah
cGod will send out dhis steadfast love and his faithfulness!
4 My soul is in the midst of alions;
I lie down amid fiery beasts—
the children of man, whose bteeth are spears and arrows,
whose ctongues are sharp swords.
5 aBe exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
6 They set aa net for my steps;
my soul was bbowed down.
They cdug a pit in my way,
but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah
7 aMy heart is bsteadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
8 aAwake, bmy glory!
Awake, cO harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
9 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 For your asteadfast love is great to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
11 aBe exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
