Psalms 17:6-10

⁶I call upon thee, O God! for thou wilt hear me; Incline thine ear to me, and listen to my prayer!

⁷Show forth thy loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand Them that seek refuge in thee from their adversaries!

⁸Guard me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings

⁹From the wicked who assault me, From my deadly enemies who compass me about!

¹⁰They shut up their hard heart; With their mouth they speak haughtily.
