⁶ I call on you, my God, for you will answer me;^(A)
    turn your ear to me^(B) and hear my prayer.^(C)
7 Show me the wonders of your great love,^(D)
    you who save by your right hand^(E)
    those who take refuge^(F) in you from their foes.
⁸ Keep me^(G) as the apple of your eye;^(H)
    hide me^(I) in the shadow of your wings^(J)
9 from the wicked who are out to destroy me,
    from my mortal enemies who surround me.^(K)

¹⁰ They close up their callous hearts,^(L)
    and their mouths speak with arrogance.^(M)
11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me,^(N)
    with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
¹² They are like a lion^(O) hungry for prey,^(P)
    like a fierce lion crouching in cover.
