Psalms 57:2-7

2I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me.

3He will send help from heaven to rescue me, disgracing those who hound me. Interlude My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness.

4I am surrounded by fierce lions who greedily devour human prey— whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows, and whose tongues cut like swords.

5Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens! May your glory shine over all the earth.

6My enemies have set a trap for me. I am weary from distress. They have dug a deep pit in my path, but they themselves have fallen into it. Interlude

7My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises!
