3 He reaches down from heaven and saves me, challenging the one who tramples me. Selah God sends his faithful love and truth.

He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me— God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.
4 I am surrounded by lions; I lie down among devouring lions — people whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down amid fiery beasts— the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. I am in the midst of lions; I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts— men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5 God, be exalted above the heavens; let your glory be over the whole earth. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
6 They prepared a net for my steps; I was despondent. They dug a pit ahead of me, but they fell into it! Selah They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my way, but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah They spread a net for my feet— I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path— but they have fallen into it themselves.
7 My heart is confident, God, my heart is confident. I will sing; I will sing praises. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.
8 Wake up, my soul! Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn. Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations. I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations. I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For your faithful love is as high as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches the clouds. For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11 God, be exalted above the heavens; let your glory be over the whole earth. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
