A Prayer in Troubled Times

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A miktam of David when he escaped from Saul in the cave.

57 Be merciful to me, God; be merciful to me
    because I come to you for protection.
Let me hide under the shadow of your wings
    until the trouble has passed.

I cry out to God Most High,
    to the God who does everything for me.
He sends help from heaven and saves me.
    He punishes those who chase me. Selah
    God sends me his love and truth.
