"Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and your glory above all the earth. "
— Psalms 56:6, Catholic Public Domain Version
“They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.”
“They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul. ”
“They conspire and lurk, watching my steps, they are eager to take my life.”
“They stalk and lurk; they watch my every step, as they prepare to take my life.”
“Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.”
“They come together, they are waiting in secret places, they take note of my steps, they are waiting for my soul.”
“They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.”
I will cry out to God Most High, to God who has been kind to me.
He sent from heaven and freed me. He has surrendered into disgrace those who trampled me. God has sent his mercy and his truth.
And he has rescued my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men: their teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue is a sharp sword.
Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and your glory above all the earth.
They prepared a snare for my feet, and they bowed down my soul. They dug a pit before my face, yet they have fallen into it.
My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm.
Rise up, my glory. Rise up, psaltery and harp. I will arise in early morning.
