5. My steps have kept to your paths;my feet have not faltered.
6. I call upon you; answer me, O God.Turn your ear to me; hear my speech.
7. Show your wonderful mercy,you who deliver with your right armthose who seek refuge from their foes.
8. Keep me as the apple of your eye;hide me in the shadow of your wings
9. from the wicked who despoil me.My ravenous enemies press upon me;
10. they close their hearts,they fill their mouths with proud roaring.
11. Their steps even now encircle me;they watch closely, keeping low to the ground,
