8Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9From the wicked that oppress me, My deadly enemies, that compass me about.
10They are inclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly.
11They have now compassed us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast [us] down to the earth.
12He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13Arise, O Jehovah, Confront him, cast him down: Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword;
14From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in [this] life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
