To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be 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.	I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth [all things] for me.	He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah.
