Psalm 57:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ My enemies are fierce,
    much worse than lions!
They have spears and arrows
    instead of teeth,
and they have sharp swords
    instead of tongues.

⁵ May you, my God, be honored
    above the heavens;
may your glory be seen
    everywhere on earth.

^6 (A) Enemies set traps for my feet
    and struck me down.
They dug a pit in my path,
    but fell in it themselves.
