Verse 5 is found in chapter 57 of Psalms. Psalm 57 begins with refuge under God’s wings while the psalmist is surrounded by danger. Images of lions, spears, and traps describe a situation of extreme violence. Yet the petitioner’s heart is steadfast before circumstances change. The second half becomes public praise: God’s mercy is presented as reaching the heavens and his glory as destined to fill all the earth.

Ich liege mit meiner Seele unter den Löwen; die Menschenkinder sind Flammen, ihre Zähne sind Spieße und Pfeile und ihre Zungen scharfe Schwerter.
Ensálzate sobre los cielos, oh Dios; Sobre toda la tierra tu gloria.
Sé exaltado por encima de los cielos, oh Dios; sea tu gloria sobre toda la tierra.
Elève-toi sur les cieux, ô Dieu! Que ta gloire soit sur toute la terre!
Innalzati, o Dio, sopra i cieli; Innalzisi la tua gloria sopra tutta la terra.
Sê exaltado, ó Deus, sobre os céus; seja a tua glória sobre toda a terra.
上帝啊,願你崇高過於諸天! 願你的榮耀高過全地!
