4My life is in the midst of lions; I dwell among them that breathe out fire; Among men whose teeth are spears and arrows, And whose tongue is a sharp sword.
5Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
6They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have digged a pit before me, But into it they have themselves fallen.
7My heart is strengthened, O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing, and give thanks.
8Awake, my soul! awake, psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
9I will praise thee, O Lord! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the kingdoms!
10For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth to the clouds!
11Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
