4I lie in the midst of lions that devour the people; *
their teeth are spears and arrows,
their tongue a sharp sword.
5They have laid a net for my feet,
and I am bowed low; *
they have dug a pit before me,
but have fallen into it themselves.
6Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, *
and your glory over all the earth.
7My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; *
I will sing and make melody.
8Wake up, my spirit;
awake, lute and harp; *
I myself will waken the dawn.
9I will confess you among the peoples, O Lord; *
I will sing praise to you among the nations.
10For your loving‑kindness is greater than the heavens, *
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
11Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, *
and your glory over all the earth.
58Si vere utique
1Do you indeed decree righteousness, you rulers? *
do you judge the peoples with equity?
2No; you devise evil in your hearts, *
and your hands deal out violence in the land.
3The wicked are perverse from the womb; *
liars go astray from their birth.
664Psalm 58
