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.
10. They are enclosed in their own fat hearts: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11. They have now surrounded us in our steps: they have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth;
12. Like as a lion that is greedy of its prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13. Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, by your sword:
14. From men by your hand, O LORD, from men of the world, who have their portion in this life, and whose belly you fill with your hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15. As for me, I will behold your face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with your likeness.
