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.
6 They for my steps prepared a net, My soul [by them] is bowed down; They digged a pit for me, in which Themselves are [fallen and] overthrown.
6 They for my steps prepar'd a net, My soul [by them] is bowed down; They dig'd a pit for me, in which Themselves are [fallen and] overthrown.
7 My heart is sixth, my heart is sixth, O God, I'll sing thy joyful praise.
