Psalm 57:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 I call out to God Most High,
to God who takes care of me.[a]
4 May he send his help from heaven to deliver me
and put to shame those who trample upon me; Selah
may God send his kindness[b] and his faithfulness.
5 I lie prostrate in the midst of lions
who are hungrily seeking human prey.
Their teeth are spears and arrows,
and their tongues are razor-sharp swords.
