9For with You is the fountain of life [the fountain of life-giving water]; In Your light we see light. 10O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, And Your righteousness (salvation) to the upright in heart. Do not let the foot of the proud [person] overtake me, And do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away. 12There those who [are perverse and] do evil have fallen; They have been thrust down and cannot rise.
