Psalms 17:8-14 Keep me as ⌊the apple of your eye⌋.* Hide me in the shadow of your wings

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Keep me as _⌊the apple of your eye_⌋.* Hide me in the shadow of your wings ⁹ from the _⌊presence_⌋* of the wicked who destroy me, those enemies against my life, they that surround me. ¹⁰ They have shut off their calloused* heart; with their mouth they speak arrogantly. ¹¹ Now they surround us at our every step. They _⌊intend_⌋* _⌊to pin_⌋* me to the ground. ¹² _⌊He is like_⌋* a lion; he longs to tear apart, and like a strong lion crouching in hiding places. ¹³ Rise up, O Yahweh, confront _⌊him_⌋.* Make him bow down. Rescue with your sword my life from the wicked, ¹⁴ from men by your hand, O Yahweh, from men of this world. Their share is in _⌊this life_⌋,* and you fill their stomach with your treasure. They are satisfied with children. They bequeath their excess to their children.
