They spread a net for my steps.
My soul was bowed down.
They dug a pit in front of me. Interlude
They have fallen into it.

David’s Confidence

My heart is steadfast, O God.
My heart is steadfast.
I will sing and I will make music.
Awake, my soul![a]
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.

They spread a net for my feet(A)

My heart, O God, is steadfast,
    my heart is steadfast;(E)
    I will sing and make music.
Awake, my soul!
    Awake, harp and lyre!(F)
    I will awaken the dawn.
