Psalm 17:6-11 American Standard Version (ASV)

6. I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: Incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

7. Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge in thee From those that rise up against them.

8. Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

9. From the wicked that oppress me, My deadly enemies, that compass me about.

10. They are inclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly.

11. They have now compassed us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
