Psalms 16:5-11

⁵Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved.

⁶I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.

⁷Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee.

⁸From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.

⁹From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:

¹⁰They have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.

¹¹They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
