5My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped.
6I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: Incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge in thee From those that rise up against them.
8Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9From the wicked that oppress me, My deadly enemies, that compass me about.
10They are inclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly.
11They have now compassed us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
12He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
