Psalms 17:8-12 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me in the shadow of your wings

9. from the presence of the wicked who destroy me, those enemies against my life, they that surround me.

10. They have shut off their calloused heart; with their mouth they speak arrogantly.

11. Now they surround us at our every step. They intend to pin me to the ground.

12. He is like a lion; he longs to tear apart, and like a strong lion crouching in hiding places.
