Psalms 57:2-7

2I will cry to God Most High, To God who 1accomplishes all things for me.3He will 2send from heaven and save me; He reproaches him who 3 4tramples upon me. 5Selah. God will send forth His 6lovingkindness and His 7truth.

4My soul is among 8lions; I must lie among those who breathe forth fire, Even the sons of men, whose 9teeth are spears and arrows And their 10tongue a sharp sword.5 11Be exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory be above all the earth.6They have 12prepared a 13net for my steps; My soul is 14bowed down; They 15dug a pit before me; They themselves have 16fallen into the midst of it. Selah.

7 17My 18heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
