Psalm 16:9–11

9 from the wicked who are out to destroy me,

from my mortal enemies who surround me.

10 They close up their callous hearts,

and their mouths speak with arrogance.

11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me,

with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.

9 from the wicked who do me violence,

my deadly enemies who surround me.

10 They close their hearts to pity;

with their mouths they speak arrogantly.

11 They have now surrounded our steps;

they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.

9 From the wicked that oppress me,

From my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

10 They are inclosed in their own fat:

With their mouth they speak proudly.

11 They have now compassed us in our steps:

They have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

9 Protect me from wicked people who attack me,

from murderous enemies who surround me.

10 They are without pity.

Listen to their boasting!

11 They track me down and surround me,

watching for the chance to throw me to the ground.

9 From the wicked who oppress me,

From my deadly enemies who surround me.

10 They have closed up their fat hearts;

With their mouths they speak proudly.

11 They have now surrounded us in our steps;

They have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth,

9 Keep me from the wicked who attack me,

from my enemies who surround me.

10 They are selfish

and brag about themselves.

11 They have chased me until they have surrounded me.

They plan to throw me to the ground.

9 From the wicked that oppress me,

My deadly enemies, that compass me about.

10 They are inclosed in their own fat:

With their mouth they speak proudly.

11 They have now compassed us in our steps;

They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.

9 From the wicked that destroy me, my deadly enemies, who compass me about. 10 They are enclosed in their own fat; with their mouth they speak proudly. 11 They have now encompassed us in our steps; their eyes have they set, bowing down to the earth.

9 Hide me from wicked people who violently attack me, 

from my deadly enemies who surround me. 

10 They have shut out all feeling. 

Their mouths have spoken arrogantly. 

11 They have tracked me down. 

They have surrounded me. 

They have focused their attention on throwing me to the ground. 

9 from the wicked who treat me violently,

my deadly enemies who surround me.

10 They have become hardened;

their mouths speak arrogantly.

11 They advance against me; now they surround me.

They are determined

to throw me to the ground.

9 from the wicked who despoil me,

my deadly enemies who surround me.

10 They close their hearts to pity;

with their mouths they speak arrogantly.

11 They flush me out; now they surround me;

they set their eyes to cast me to the ground.

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.

9 Save me from the sinful people who attack me.

Save me from my deadly enemies who are all around me.

10 They make their hearts hard and stubborn.

Their mouths speak with pride.

11 They have tracked me down. They are all around me.

Their eyes watch for a chance to throw me to the ground.

9 From the wicked who despoil me,

My deadly enemies who surround me.

10 They have closed their unfeeling heart,

With their mouth they speak proudly.

11 They have now surrounded us in our steps;

They set their eyes to cast us down to the ground.
