Psalms 57:2 Psalms 57:3 (KJV) Psalms 57:4
I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth [all things] for me.
He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
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.
