6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thy ear to me, and hear my speech.
7 Show thy wonderful loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them who put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shade of thy wings.
9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who encompass me,
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
