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.
10I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make songs to you among the nations.
11For your mercy is great, stretching up to the heavens, and your righteousness goes up to the clouds.
