Psalm 57:4-6

The Voice

⁴ I am surrounded by lions;
    I lie in a den of ravenous beasts.
Those around me have spears and arrows for teeth,
    a sharpened blade for a tongue.

⁵ O God, be lifted up above the heavens;
    may Your glory cover the earth.

⁶ Yet my foes cast a net to catch my feet and bring me to my knees.
    I am weary from all of this.
They dug a pit to snare me
    but fell into their own trap.
