Salmene 57,6

Discouragement and depression

4 Min sjel er blant løver;
Jeg må legge meg blant dem som fortærer,
Blant menneskesønner, hvis tenner er spyd og piler,
Og deres tunge er et skarpt sverd.

5 Bli opphøyd over himlene, Gud;
Må din herlighet være over hele jorden.

De har lagt en snare for mine skritt;
Min sjel er nedbøyd;
De gravde en grop foran meg;
De har selv falt i den.
Sela

7 Mitt hjerte er urokkelig, Gud, mitt hjerte er urokkelig;
Jeg vil synge, ja, jeg vil synge lovsanger!

8 Stå opp, min sjel!
Stå opp, harpe og lyre!
Jeg vil vekke morgenlyset.
