For the music director; according to the al-tashcheth style; 7 a prayer 8 of David, written when he fled from Saul into the cave. 9
57:1 Have mercy on me, O God! Have mercy on me!
For in you I have taken shelter. 10
In the shadow of your wings 11 I take shelter
until trouble passes.
30:2 They travel down to Egypt
without seeking my will, 12
seeking Pharaoh’s protection,
and looking for safety in Egypt’s protective shade. 13
32:2 Each of them 14 will be like a shelter from the wind
and a refuge from a rainstorm;
like streams of water in a dry region
and like the shade of a large cliff in a parched land.
