Psalms 17:4-8

⁴Concerning the workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.

⁵Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.

⁶I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.

⁷Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.

⁸Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide me vnder the shadowe of thy wings,
