Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand, O You who save those who trust in You From those who rise up against them.
8
Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,
9
From the wicked who oppress me, From my deadly enemies who surround me.
10
They have closed up their fat hearts; With their mouths they speak proudly.
11
They have now surrounded us in our steps; They have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth,
12
As a lion is eager to tear his prey, And like a young lion lurking in secret places.
13
Arise, O Lord, Confront him, cast him down; Deliver my life from the wicked with Your sword,
14
With Your hand from men, O Lord, From men of the world who have their portion in this life, And whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure. They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their possession for their babes.
15
As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.
