Psalms 17:6-10

⁶I call to you, for you answer me, God; turn your ear to me and listen when I speak.

⁷Show your covenant faithfulness in a wonderful way, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their enemies!

⁸Protect me like the apple of your eye; hide me under the shadow of your wings

⁹from the presence of the wicked ones who assault me, my enemies who surround me.

¹⁰They have no mercy on anyone; their mouths speak with pride.
