4. Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have observed the ways of the violent.
5. Sustain my steps in thy ways that my footsteps not slip.
6. I have called upon thee, because thou dost hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me and hear my speech.
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.
