Psalms 17
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
6 Ref I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: Incline thine ear unto me, `and' hear my speech.
7 Ref Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge `in thee 'From those that rise up `against them'.
8 Ref Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 Ref From the wicked that oppress me, My deadly enemies, that compass me about.
10 Ref They are inclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly.

7 Ref Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.
8 Ref Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.
9 Ref From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.

8 Ref Keep me as the light of your eyes, covering me with the shade of your wings,
9 Ref From the evil-doers who are violent to me, and from those who are round me, desiring my death.
