ESVEnglish Standard Version

Keep me as the apple of your eye;

hide me in the shadow of your wings,

from the wicked who do me violence,

my deadly enemies who surround me.

They close their hearts to pity;

with their mouths they speak arrogantly.

They have now surrounded our steps;

they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Keep me as the apple of your eye;

hide me in the shadow of your wings

from the wicked who are out to destroy me,

from my mortal enemies who surround me.

They close up their callous hearts,

and their mouths speak with arrogance.

They have tracked me down, they now surround me,

with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Protect me as the pupil of your eye;

hide me in the shadow of your wings

from the wicked who treat me violently,

my deadly enemies who surround me.

They are uncaring;

their mouths speak arrogantly.

They advance against me; now they surround me.

They are determined

to throw me to the ground.

NLTNew Living Translation

Guard me as you would guard your own eyes.

Hide me in the shadow of your wings.

Protect me from wicked people who attack me,

from murderous enemies who surround me.

They are without pity.

Listen to their boasting!

They track me down and surround me,

watching for the chance to throw me to the ground.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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,

those enemies against my life,

they that surround me.

They have shut off their calloused heart;

with their mouth they speak arrogantly.

Now they surround us at our every step.

They intend

to pin me to the ground.
