And I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men,

Let thy glory be above all the earth.

6They have prepared pa net for my steps;

My soul is ppbowed down:

qThey have digged a pit before me,

Into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

My soul is in the midst of lions;

I lie down amid fiery beasts—

the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows,

whose tongues are sharp swords.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!

Let your glory be over all the earth!

They set a net for my steps;

my soul was bowed down.

They dug a pit in my way,

but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah

NIVNew International Version (2011)

I am in the midst of lions;

I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—

men whose teeth are spears and arrows,

whose tongues are sharp swords.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;

let your glory be over all the earth.

They spread a net for my feet—

I was bowed down in distress.

They dug a pit in my path—

but they have fallen into it themselves.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

I am surrounded by lions;

I lie down among devouring lions—

people whose teeth are spears and arrows,

whose tongues are sharp swords.

God, be exalted above the heavens;

let your glory be over the whole earth.

They prepared a net for my steps;

I was despondent.

They dug a pit ahead of me,

but they fell into it!

Selah

NLTNew Living Translation

I am surrounded by fierce lions

who greedily devour human prey—

whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows,

and whose tongues cut like swords.

Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens!

May your glory shine over all the earth.

My 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.

My soul is among lions.

I lie down among those who devour—

the children of humankind whose teeth are spears and arrows

and whose tongues are sharp swords.

Be exalted above the heavens, O God.

Let your glory be above all the earth.

They have set a net for my steps;

my soul is bowed down.

They have dug a pit before me;

they have fallen into the midst of it. Selah

My soul is among lions:

And I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men,

Whose teeth are spears and arrows,

And their tongue a sharp sword.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens;

Let thy glory be above all the earth.

They have prepared a net for my steps;

My soul is bowed down:

They have digged a pit before me,

Into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.
