I call to God, the Most High,
    to God, who supplies my every need.
He will answer from heaven and save me;
    he will defeat my oppressors.
    God will show me his constant love and faithfulness.

I am surrounded by enemies,
    who are like lions hungry for human flesh.
Their teeth are like spears and arrows;
    their tongues are like sharp swords.
