- Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings
- from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.
- They close up their callous hearts, and their mouths speak with arrogance.
- They have tracked me down, they now surround me, with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
- They are like a lion hungry for prey, like a great lion crouching in cover.
|
- Rise up, O LORD, confront them, bring them down; rescue me from the wicked by your sword.
- O LORD, by your hand save me from such men, from men of this world whose reward is in this life. You still the hunger of those you cherish; their sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.
- And I--in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.
