5
Hold up my goings in thy paths,
that
my footsteps slip not.
6
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me,
and hear
my speech.
7
Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put
their trust
in thee
from those that rise up
against them.
8
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9
From the wicked that oppress me,
from
my deadly enemies,
who
compass me about.
10
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the
earth;
12
Like as a lion
that
is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13
Arise, O L
ORD
, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked,
which
is
thy sword:
14
From men
which are
thy hand, O L
ORD
, from men of the world,
which have
their portion
in
this
life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid
treasure:
they are full of children,
and leave the rest of their
substance
to their babes.
15
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with
thy likeness.
CHAPTER 18
I will love thee, O L
ORD
, my strength.
2
The L
ORD
is
my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom
I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation,
and
my high tower.
3
I will call upon the L
ORD
,
who is worthy
to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine
enemies.
4
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6
In my distress I called upon the L
ORD
, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of
his temple, and my cry came before him,
even
into his ears.
7
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken,
because he was wroth.
8
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were
kindled by it.
9
He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness
was
under his feet.
10
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
