5 my steps have remained firmly in your paths.My feet have not slipped.
6 I have called on you because you answer me, O God.Turn your ear toward me.Hear what I have to say.
7 Reveal your miraculous deeds of mercy,O Savior of those who find refuge by your sidefrom those who attack them.
8 Guard me as if I were the pupil in your eye.Hide me in the shadow of your wings.
9 Hide me from wicked people who violently attack me,from my deadly enemies who surround me.
10 They have shut out all feeling.Their mouths have spoken arrogantly.
11 They have tracked me down.They have surrounded me.They have focused their attention on throwing me to the ground.
