My soul is among lions.
I lie among those who are set on fire,
even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows,
and their tongue a sharp sword.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Psalms 57:4 in context
Psalms 57:1–7
1
Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me,
for my soul takes refuge in you.
Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge,
until disaster has passed.
2
I cry out to God Most High,
to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
3
He will send from heaven, and save me,
he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. Selah.
God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
4
Selected verse
My soul is among lions.
I lie among those who are set on fire,
even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows,
and their tongue a sharp sword.
5
Be exalted, God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be above all the earth!
6
They have prepared a net for my steps.
My soul is bowed down.
They dig a pit before me.
They fall into the middle of it themselves. Selah.
7
My heart is steadfast, God.
My heart is steadfast.
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
