5. Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved.
6. I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.
7. Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee.
8. From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.
9. From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:
10. they have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.
11. They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
12. They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.
