4. I am surrounded by lions;I lie down among those who want to devour me;men whose teeth are spears and arrows,whose tongues are a sharp sword.
5. Rise up above the sky, O God!May your splendor cover the whole earth!
6. They have prepared a net to trap me;I am discouraged.They have dug a pit for me.They will fall into it! (Selah)
7. I am determined, O God! I am determined!I will sing and praise you!
8. Awake, my soul!Awake, O stringed instrument and harp!I will wake up at dawn!
9. I will give you thanks before the nations, O Master!I will sing praises to you before foreigners!
10. For your loyal love extends beyond the sky,and your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
11. Rise up above the sky, O God!May your splendor cover the whole earth!
