2. I will cry to God Most High,to God who vindicates me.
3. He will send from heaven and save mefrom the taunt of the one who crushes me. SelahGod will send forth His mercy and His truth.
4. My soul is among lions,and I lie among the sons of men who blaze like fire,whose teeth are spears and arrows,and their tongue a sharp sword.
5. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;may Your glory be above all the earth.
6. They have prepared a net for my steps;my soul is bowed down;they have dug a pit before me,but they have fallen into it. Selah
7. My heart is fixed, O God,my heart is fixed;I will sing and give praise.
8. Awake, my glory!Awake, psaltery and harp!I will awake the dawn.
9. I will thank You, O Lord, among the peoples;I will sing to You among the nations.
10. For Your mercy is great up to the heavens,and Your truth extends to the clouds.
11. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;may Your glory be above all the earth.
