4. Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the paths of the destroyer.
5. Hold up my steps in your paths, that my feet slip not.
6. I have called upon you, for you will hear me, O God: incline your ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7. Show your marvelous lovingkindness, O you that save by your right hand them who put their trust in you from those that rise up against them.
8. Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of your wings,
9. From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who surround me.
