4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lipsI have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God:incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Show thy marvelous loving-kindness,O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in theefrom those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye;hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 from the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are inclosed in their own fat:with their mouth they speak proudly.
