Psalms 17:6-12

6I have calledH7121 upon thee, for thou wilt hearH6030 me, O GodH410: inclineH5186 thine earH241 unto me, and hearH8085 my speechH565.

7Shew thy marvellousH6395 lovingkindnessH2617, O thou that savestH3467 by thy right handH3225 them which put their trustH2620 in thee from those that rise upH6965 against them.1

8KeepH8104 me as the appleH380 of the eyeH5869H1323, hideH5641 me under the shadowH6738 of thy wingsH3671,

9FromH6440 the wickedH7563 thatH2098 oppressH7703 me, from my deadlyH5315 enemiesH341, who compass me aboutH5362.23

10They are inclosedH5462 in their own fatH2459: with their mouthH6310 they speakH1696 proudlyH1348.

11They have now compassedH5437 us in our stepsH838: they have setH7896 their eyesH5869 bowing downH5186 to the earthH776;

12LikeH1825 as a lionH738 that is greedyH3700 of his preyH2963, and as it were a young lionH3715 lurkingH3427 in secret placesH4565.45
