Psalms 57:7
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
6 They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it! Selah
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.
8 Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
