2I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me.2I call to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.
3He will send help from heaven to rescue me, disgracing those who hound me. Interlude My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness.3He reaches down from heaven and saves me, challenging the one who tramples me. Selah God sends His faithful love and truth.
4I am surrounded by fierce lions who greedily devour human prey— whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows, and whose tongues cut like swords.4I am surrounded by lions; I lie down with those who devour men. Their teeth are spears and arrows; their tongues are sharp swords.
5Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens! May your glory shine over all the earth.5God, be exalted above the heavens; let Your glory be over the whole earth.
6My enemies have set a trap for me. I am weary from distress. They have dug a deep pit in my path, but they themselves have fallen into it. Interlude6They prepared a net for my steps; I was despondent. They dug a pit ahead of me, but they fell into it! Selah
7My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises!7My heart is confident, God, my heart is confident. I will sing; I will sing praises.
