I am in the midst of lions;
I lie among ravenous beasts
Men whose teeth are spears and arrows
Whose tongues are sharp swords
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let your glory be over all the earth
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
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and make music
Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn
