5 I have followed you,without ever stumbling.
6 I pray to you, God,because you will help me.Listen and answer my prayer!
7 Show your wonderful love.Your mighty arm protects thosewho run to you for safetyfrom their enemies.
8 Protect me as you wouldyour very own eyes;hide me in the shadowof your wings.
9 Don't let my brutal enemiesattack from all sidesand kill me.
10 They refuse to show mercy,and they keep boasting.
11 They have caught up with me!My enemies are everywhere,eagerly hoping to pull meto the ground.
