A Cry for Mercy while the Enemy Surrounds and Yet A Song of Thanks

1 For the music director, according to the al-tashcheth style; a prayer of David, written when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God. Have mercy on me. For in you I have taken shelter. In the shadow of your wings I take shelter until trouble passes.
