Psalms 57:4-11

⁴I am surrounded by man-eating lions—I am forced to live with them! Their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongues are swords.

⁵God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory covers the whole earth!

⁶They set a trap to catch me. I was so depressed. They dug a pit on my path but they were the ones who fell into it. Selah.

⁷I have confidence in you, God, I have confidence in you. I will sing songs of praise to you.

⁸I say to myself, “Wake up!” Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!

⁹I will thank you among the peoples, Lord; I will sing your praises among the nations.

¹⁰Your faithful love reaches to the heavens; your trustworthiness to the clouds.

¹¹God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory covers the whole earth!
