7 Manifest your faithful love in amazing waysbecause you are the onewho saves those who take refuge in you,saving them from their attackersby your strong hand.
8 Watch me with the very pupil of your eye!Hide me in the protection of your wings,
9 away from the wickedwho are out to get me,away from my deadly enemieswho are all around me!
10 They have no pity;their mouths speak arrogantly.
11 They track me down—suddenly, they surround me!They make their plans to put me in the dirt.
12 They are like a lion eager to rip its prey;they are like a strong young lion lying in wait.
13 Get up, Lord!Confront them!Bring them down!Rescue my life from the wicked—use your sword!
