Context of Psalms 57:5
3He will send help from heaven and he will save me. He will punish the people who attack me. Selah. God will show me his faithful love, and he will do what he has promised. 4My enemies are all round me, like hungry lions! I must lie down among wild animals, that want to eat me! They are men who use spears and arrows to bite like teeth. They use their tongues to hurt people, like sharp swords. God, show how great you are, high above the sky! Let everybody on the earth see your glory! 6My enemies have prepared a trap to catch me. That makes me very upset. They have dug a deep hole on the path where I walk. But they have fallen into it themselves! Selah. 7God, I have decided to trust you always. Yes, I will trust you! I will sing songs to praise you!
