Psalm 57:3-5
New International Reader's Version
3 He answers from heaven and saves me.
He puts to shame those who chase me.
He shows his love and that he is faithful.
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.
