Psalm 57:4

Psalm 57:4 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

4I am in the midst of lions;

I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—

men whose teeth are spears and arrows,

whose tongues are sharp swords.

4¶My soul is among lions;

I must lie among those who devour,

Among sons of mankind whose teeth are spears and arrows,

And their tongue is a sharp sword.

4My soul is among lions;

I must lie among those who breathe forth fire,

Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows

And their tongue a sharp sword.

4¶My life is among lions;

I must lie among those who breathe out fire—

The sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows,

And their tongue a sharp sword.

4My soul is among the lions;

I lie down with ravenous beasts—

with men whose teeth are spears and arrows,

whose tongues are sharp swords.

4Men who are like lions are all around me.

I am forced to lie down among people who are like hungry animals.

Their teeth are like spears and arrows.

Their tongues are like sharp swords.
