Read in context

Psalms 57:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.

3 He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. Selah God sends forth His loving devotion and His truth.

4 My soul is among the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts— with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.

6 They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it! Selah
