BSB BSB: For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have 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.

3 GLT يُرْسِلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَيُخَلِّصُنِي. عَيَّرَ ٱلَّذِي يَتَهَمَّمُنِي. سِلَاهْ. يُرْسِلُ ٱللهُ رَحْمَتَهُ وَحَقَّهُ. BSB BSB: He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. Selah God sends forth His loving devotion and His truth.

5 GLT ٱرْتَفِعِ ٱللَّهُمَّ عَلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. لِيَرْتَفِعْ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ مَجْدُكَ. BSB BSB: Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
