⁴ My soul is in the midst of ^(A)lions;
    I lie down amid fiery beasts—
the children of man, whose ^(B)teeth are spears and arrows,
    whose ^(C)tongues are sharp swords.
^5 (D)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
    Let your glory be over all the earth!
⁶ They set ^(E)a net for my steps;
    my soul was ^(F)bowed down.
They ^(G)dug a pit in my way,
    but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah
