He sends his help from heaven and saves me.
    He disgraces the one who is harassing me. Selah
    Elohim sends his mercy and his truth!
My soul is surrounded by lions.
    I must lie down with man-eating lions.
    Their teeth are spears and arrows.
    Their tongues are sharp swords.
        May you be honored above the heavens, O Elohim.
        Let your glory extend over the whole earth.

    whose tongues are sharp swords.(E)

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
    let your glory be over all the earth.(F)
