Psalms 17:8-14

1. 8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

2. 9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

3. 10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

4. 11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

5. 12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

6. 13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

7. 14 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
