5 My steps have held fast to your paths.My feet have not slipped.
6 I have called on you, for you will answer me, God.Turn your ear to me.Hear my speech.
7 Show your marvellous loving kindness,you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye.Hide me under the shadow of your wings,
9 from the wicked who oppress me,my deadly enemies, who surround me.
10 They close up their callous hearts.With their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now surrounded us in our steps.They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
