Psalm 57:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 May God send help from heaven to save me,
shame those who trample upon me.
May God send fidelity and mercy.
Selah
5 I must lie down in the midst of lions
hungry for human prey.(A)
Their teeth are spears and arrows;
their tongue, a sharpened sword.(B)
6 Be exalted over the heavens, God;
may your glory appear above all the earth.(C)
