3 He will answer from heaven and save me;he will defeat my oppressors.God will show me his constant love and faithfulness.
4 I am surrounded by enemies,who are like lions hungry for human flesh.Their teeth are like spears and arrows;their tongues are like sharp swords.
5 Show your greatness in the sky, O God,and your glory over all the earth.
6 My enemies have spread a net to catch me;I am overcome with distress.They dug a pit in my path,but fell into it themselves.
7 I have complete confidence, O God;I will sing and praise you!
8 Wake up, my soul!Wake up, my harp and lyre!I will wake up the sun.
9 I will thank you, O Lord, among the nations.I will praise you among the peoples.
