Psalms 17:6-9

⁶O God, I pray to you because you answer me; please listen MTY to what I am saying.

⁷Show me that you faithfully love me. By your great power MTY rescue those who ◄run to/trust in► you to protect them from their enemies.

⁸Protect me as people carefully protect their own eyes; protect me like birds protect their babies under their wings MET.

⁹Do not allow wicked people to attack me; my enemies surround me, wanting to kill me.
