2 My cry I will cause to ascend Unto the Lord [who is] most high; To God who doth all things for me [Ever] perform most faithfully.
3 He shall send down from Heaven, and me From his [unjust] reproach defend That would devour me: God his truth And [saving] mercy forth shall send.

4 My soul among fierce Lions is, I [burning] fire-brands lie among; Even men whose teeth are spears and darts, A [cutting] sharp sword is their tongue.
5 Above the highest Heavens, O God, Be thou [in might] exalted high; And over all the earth below Show forth thy [Glorious] Majesty.
5 Above the highest Heav'ns, O God, Be thou [in might] exalted high; And over all the earth below Shew forth thy [Glorious] Majesty.
