Psalms 57:2-5 in English

² I will cry unto God Most High, Unto God that performeth all things for me.

³ He will send from heaven, and save me, When he that would swallow me up reproacheth; Selah God will send forth his lovingkindness and his truth.

⁴ My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

⁵ Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let thy glory be above all the earth.

² If ye do indeed speak righteousness, then do ye judge rightly, ye sons of men.

³ For ye work iniquities in your hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness.

⁴ Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies.

⁵ Their venom is like that of a serpent; as that of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;

³ He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

⁴ My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

⁴ Sometimes I am surrounded by my enemies who are like lions that kill humans; they are like lions that chew with their teeth animals that they kill; but my enemies have spears and arrows, not teeth; and the false things that they say MTY hurt people as much as sharp swords hurt people MET.
