Psalm 57:4-6
New Catholic Bible
4 May he send his help from heaven to deliver me
and put to shame those who trample upon me; Selah
may God send his kindness[a] and his faithfulness.
5 I lie prostrate in the midst of lions
who are hungrily seeking human prey.
Their teeth are spears and arrows,
and their tongues are razor-sharp swords.
6 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory shine over all the earth.[b]
