5. I must lie down in the midst of lionshungry for human prey.Their teeth are spears and arrows;their tongue, a sharpened sword.
6. Be exalted over the heavens, God;may your glory appear above all the earth.
7. They have set a trap for my feet;my soul is bowed down;They have dug a pit before me.May they fall into it themselves!Selah
8. My heart is steadfast, God,my heart is steadfast.I will sing and chant praise.
9. Awake, my soul;awake, lyre and harp!I will wake the dawn.
10. I will praise you among the peoples, Lord;I will chant your praise among the nations.
11. For your mercy towers to the heavens;your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
12. Exalt yourself over the heavens, God;may your glory appear above all the earth.
