7. Show thy mercy to be marvellous, O Saviour of those who put their trust in thee, from those that rise up against thy right hand.
8. Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me with the shadow of thy wings,
9. from the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10. They are closed in with their own fat; with their mouth they speak proudly.
11. They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes upon throwing us down to the earth
12. like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13. Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, with thy sword;
14. from men, with thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world, who have their portion in this life and whose belly thou dost fill with thy provision: they satisfy their sons and leave the rest to their family.
15. As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness.
