Concerning the works of men, By the word of Your lips, I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer.

Uphold my steps in Your paths, That my footsteps may not slip.

I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech.

Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand, O You who save those who trust in You From those who rise up against them.

Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,

From the wicked who oppress me, From my deadly enemies who surround me.
