Psalm 57:2-4
The Voice

2 I cry out to God, the Most High,
    to God who always does what is good for me.
3 Out of heaven my rescue comes.
    He dispatches His mercy and truth
And goes after whoever tries to run over me.

[pause][a]

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.
