MLV(i)
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,
9 from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who encompass me around.
10 They are enclosed in their own fat. They speak proudly with their mouth. 11 They have now encompassed us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast down to the earth. 12 He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O Jehovah, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword, 14 from men by your hand, O Jehovah, from men of the world whose portion is in this life and whose belly you fill with your treasure. They are satisfied with sons and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
