Psalms 17:4-8

⁴Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

⁵Uphold my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

⁶I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thy ear to me, and hear my speech.

⁷Show thy wonderful loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them who put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them .

⁸Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shade of thy wings.
