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 devourq the sons of men;

their teeth are spears and arrows,

their tongues sharp swords.
