Psalm 57:2-4
Revised Standard Version

2 I cry to God Most High,
    to God who fulfils his purpose for me.
3 He will send from heaven and save me,
    he will put to shame those who trample upon me.Selah
God will send forth his steadfast love and his faithfulness!

4 I lie in the midst of lions
    that greedily devour[a] the sons of men;
their teeth are spears and arrows,
    their tongues sharp swords.
