4 Concerning the works of men, by the Devar of Thy lips I have kept myself from the paths of the cruel.
5 Uphold my goings in Thy paths, that my footsteps stumble not.
6 I have called upon Thee, for Thou wilt hear me, O El; incline Thine ear unto me, and hear my prayer.
7 Show Thy marvellous chesed, O Thou Moshi'a Who saves by Thy right hand them which put their trust in Thee from those that rise up against them.
8 Be shomer over me as the apple of Thy eye; hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,
9 From the resha'im that oppress me, from my deadly enemies threatening my nefesh, who surround me.
10 They have closed up callously and mercilessly against me; with their mouth they speak with ge'ut (pride).
