Psalm 57:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴ I lie down among lions
    that greedily devour^[a] human prey;
their teeth are spears and arrows,
    their tongues sharp swords.^(A)

⁵ Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
    Let your glory be over all the earth.^(B)

⁶ They set a net for my steps;
    my soul was bowed down.
They dug a pit in my path,
    but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah^(C)
