Psalm 57:4-11
New King James Version
Psalm 57:4-11
New King James Version
4 My soul is among lions;
I lie among the sons of men
Who are set on fire,
(A)Whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword.
5 (B)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.
6 (C)They have prepared a net for my steps;
My soul is bowed down;
They have dug a pit before me;
Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah
7 (D)My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and give praise.
8 Awake, (E)my glory!
Awake, lute and harp!
I will awaken the dawn.
9 (F)I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing to You among the [a]nations.
10 (G)For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens,
And Your truth unto the clouds.
11 (H)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be above all the earth.

I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.(B)
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.(C)

my heart is steadfast;(H)
I will sing and make music.

King James Version
Psalm 57:4-11
King James Version
4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
