5. My steps have kept on Your paths. My feet have not slipped.
6. I called upon You, O God, for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
7. Be wonderful with Your lovingkindness, O Savior of those taking refuge at Your right hand from those rising up against them.
8. Protect me like the pupil of the eye. Hide me in the shadow of Your wings,
9. from the wicked who attack me— my enemies, who surround me.
10. Their callous heart they shut tight. With their mouth they speak proudly.
11. Our steps are now surrounded. They set their eyes to throw us down to the ground,
12. like a lion eager to tear to pieces, like a young lion crouching in cover.
