Psalm 17:6-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words.

7. Wondrously show your steadfast love,O Savior of those who seek refugefrom their adversaries at your right hand.

8. Keep me as the apple of your eye;hide me in the shadow of your wings,

9. from the wicked who do me violence,my deadly enemies who surround me.

10. They close their hearts to pity;with their mouths they speak arrogantly.

11. They have now surrounded our steps;they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.

12. He is like a lion eager to tear,as a young lion lurking in ambush.
