Tehillim 57:4-11 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

4. (5) My nefesh is among lions, and I lie even among them that devour Bnei Adam, whose shinayim (teeth) are spears and khitzim (arrows), and their leshon a sharp cherev.

5. (6) Be Thou exalted, O Elohim, above Shomayim; let Thy kavod be above kol ha'aretz.

6. (7) They have prepared a reshet (net) for my steps; my nefesh is bowed down; they have dug a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.

7. (8) My lev is nachon (steadfast), O Elohim, my lev is nachon; I will sing and make music.

8. (9) Awake, my kavod (glory, soul, life); awake, nevel and kinnor; I myself will awake the shachar (dawn).

9. (10) I will give thanks unto Thee, Adonoi, among the peoples; I will sing of Thee among the peoples.

10. (11) For Thy chesed is gadol unto Shomayim, and Thy emes unto the heights.

11. (12) Be Thou exalted, O Elohim, above Shomayim; let Thy kavod be above kol ha'aretz (all the earth).
