Psalm 57:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ Men who are like lions are all around me.
    I am forced to lie down among people who are like hungry animals.
Their teeth are like spears and arrows.
    Their tongues are like sharp swords.

⁵ God, may you be honored above the heavens.
    Let your glory be over the whole earth.

⁶ My enemies spread a net to catch me by the feet.
    I felt helpless.
They dug a pit in my path.
    But they fell into it themselves.
