⁸ Keep me^(A) as the apple of your eye;^(B)
    hide me^(C) in the shadow of your wings^(D)
9 from the wicked who are out to destroy me,
    from my mortal enemies who surround me.^(E)

¹³ Rise up,^(A) Lord, confront them, bring them down;^(B)
    with your sword rescue me from the wicked.
¹⁴ By your hand save me from such people, Lord,
    from those of this world^(C) whose reward is in this life.^(D)
May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies;
    may their children gorge themselves on it,
    and may there be leftovers^(E) for their little ones.

¹² For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
    and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”^[a](A)
