Psalms 57:2-11

²I cry to the Most High God, to the God who accomplishes for me.

³He will send me his succour from heaven, he will thrust away those who would trample me. Selah

⁴In the midst of lions I lie, who devour human prey. Their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue is a sharpened sword.

⁵Be exalted, God, o'er the heavens, and your glory o'er all the earth.

⁶They set a net for my feet, but in it was their own foot caught. Before me they dug a pit, but they fell into it themselves. Selah

⁷My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I would sing, I would make music;

⁸awake, my soul. Awake, harp and lyre; I would wake the dawn.

⁹I would praise you amongst the peoples, O Lord, and make music amongst the nations to you;

¹⁰for great to heaven is your love, and your faithfulness to the clouds.

¹¹Be exalted, God, o'er the heavens, and your glory o'er all the earth.
