4. As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
5. My steps have held fast to thy paths, my feet have not slipped.
6. I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7. Shew thy marvelous lovingkindness, O thou that savest them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them, by thy right hand.
8. Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9. From the wicked that spoil me, my deadly enemies, that compass me about.
10. They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11. They have now compassed us in our steps: they set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
