4My 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.
5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
6They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst of which they have fallen themselves . Selah.
7My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: I will sing to thee among the nations.
