Psalm 57:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴ I am^[a] surrounded by lions.
    I lie down with those who burn with fire—
that is, with people whose teeth are like spears and arrows—
    whose tongues are like sharp swords.

⁵ Be exalted above the heavens, God!
    May your glory cover the earth!

⁶ They have set a snare for my feet,
    which makes me^[b] depressed.
They dug a pit in front of me,
    but they are the ones who fell into it!
