3I will send up my cry to the Most High God; to God who does all things for me.
4He will send from heaven, and take me from the power of him whose desire is for my destruction. God will send out his mercy and his good faith.
5My soul is among lions; I am stretched out among those who are on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongue is a sharp sword.
6O God, be lifted up higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
7They have made ready a net for my steps; my soul is bent down; they have made a great hole before me, and have gone down into it themselves. (Selah.)
8My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs, and give praise.
9You are my glory; let the instruments of music be awake; I myself will be awake with the dawn.
