They prepared a net for my steps;
I was despondent.
They dug a pit ahead of me,
but they fell into it!(A)Selah

My heart is confident, God, my heart is confident.
I will sing; I will sing praises.(B)
Wake up, my soul![a]
Wake up, harp and lyre!
I will wake up the dawn.(C)

  1. Psalm 57:8 Lit glory

They spread a net for my feet(A)
    I was bowed down(B) in distress.
They dug a pit(C) in my path—
    but they have fallen into it themselves.(D)

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.
