8Protect me as you would your very eyes;

hide me in the shadow of your wings

9from the attacks of the wicked.

Deadly enemies surround me;

10they have no pity and speak proudly.

11They are round me now, wherever I turn,

watching for a chance to pull me down.

Keep me as the apple of your eye;

hide me in the shadow of your wings,

from the wicked who do me violence,

with their mouths they speak arrogantly.

They have now surrounded our steps;

they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.

watching for the chance to throw me to the ground.

Keep me as the apple of your eye.

Hide me in the shadow of your wings

from the presence of the wicked who destroy me,

with their mouth they speak arrogantly.

Now they surround us at our every step.

They intend

to pin me to the ground.

With their mouth they speak proudly.

They have now compassed us in our steps:

They have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
