5 I have followed your way. My feet never left your path.
6 Every time I call to you, God, you answer me. So listen to me now, and hear what I say.
7 Show your amazing kindness and rescue those who depend on you. Use your great power and protect them from their enemies.
8 Protect me like the pupil of your eye. Hide me in the shadow of your wings.
9 Save me from the wicked people who are trying to destroy me. Protect me from those who come to hurt me.
10 They think only of themselves and brag about what they will do.
11 They have been following me, and now they are all around me. They watch me, waiting to throw me to the ground.
