He reproaches the one who1 would swallow me up. Selah
God bshall send forth His mercy and His truth.
I lie among the sons of men
Who are set on fire,
aWhose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword.
My soul is bowed down;
They have dug a pit before me;
Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah
