Psalm 57:2-4
New King James Version

2 I will cry out to God Most High,
To God (A)who performs all things for me.
3 (B)He shall send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches the one who [a]would swallow me up. Selah
God (C)shall send forth His mercy and His truth.

4 My soul is among lions;
I lie among the sons of men
Who are set on fire,
(D)Whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword.
