Confiance dans la difficulté

¹ To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
till the storms of destruction pass by
² I cry out to God Most High,
to God who fulfills his purpose for me
³ He will send from heaven and save me;
he will put to shame him who tramples on me. Selah
God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness!
⁴ My soul is in the midst of lions;
I lie down amid fiery beasts&emdash;
the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.
⁵ Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
⁶ They set a net for my steps;
my soul was bowed down.
They dug a pit in my way,
but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah
⁷ My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast!
I will sing and make melody!
⁸ Awake, my glory!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
⁹ I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
¹⁰ For your steadfast love is great to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
¹¹ Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
