Psalms 17:8-11

⁸Keep thou me as the apple of thine eye; and from them that against-stand thy right hand. Cover thou me under the shadow of thy wings;

⁹from the face of unpious men, that have tormented me. Mine enemies have encompassed my soul;

¹⁰they have closed together their fatness; the mouth of them spake pride.

¹¹They casted me forth, and have en-compassed me now; they ordained to bow down their eyes into the earth.
