Psalms 17:8-13

Brenton(i) 8 (16:8) Keep me as the apple of the eye from those that resist thy right hand: thou shalt screen me by the covering of thy wings, 9 (16:9) from the face of the ungodly that have afflicted me: mine enemies have compassed about my soul. 10 (16:10) They have enclosed themselves with their own fat: their mouth has spoken pride. 11 (16:11) They have now cast me out and compassed me round about: they have set their eyes so as to bow them down to the ground. 12 (16:12) They laid wait for me as a lion ready for prey, and like a lion's whelp dwelling in secret places. 13 (16:13) Arise, O Lord, prevent them, and cast them down: deliver my soul from the ungodly: draw thy sword,
