I will cry to God Most High,
To God who (A)accomplishes all things for me.
He will (B)send from heaven and save me;
He rebukes the one who [a](C)tramples upon me. Selah
God will send His [b](D)favor and His truth.

My soul is among (E)lions;
I must lie among those who devour,
Among sons of mankind whose (F)teeth are spears and arrows,
And their (G)tongue is a sharp sword.
