Psalms 57:5


Psalms 57:4 Psalms 57:5 (KJV) Psalms 57:6
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.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
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.
