6 I have called upon thee, O God, for thou shalt hear me: incline
thine ear to me, and hearken unto my words.
7 Shew thy marvellous loving-kindness, thou that art the Saviour
of them which put their trust in thee: from such as resist thy
right hand.
8 Keep me as the apple of an eye: hide me under the shadow of thy
wings,
9 From the ungodly that trouble me: mine enemies compass me round
about to take away my soul.
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: and their mouth speaketh
proud things.
11 They lie waiting in our way on every side: turning their eyes
down to the ground;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey: and as it were a
lion's whelp, lurking in secret places.
13 Up, Lord, disappoint him, and cast him down: deliver my soul
from the ungodly, which is a sword of thine;
14 From the men of thy hand, O Lord, from the men, I say, and
from the evil world: which have their portion in this life, whose
bellies thou fillest with thy hid treasure.
15 They have children at their desire: and leave the rest of
their substance for their babes.
16 But as for me, I will behold thy presence in righteousness: and
when I awake up after thy likeness, I shall be satisfied with it.
