I call on you, oh God,
For you will answer me
Give ear to me and hear my prayer

Keep me as the apple of your eye
Hide me in the shadow of your wings


From the wicked who $$#ail me
From my mortal enemies who surround me
They close up their callous hearts

And their mouth speaks with arrogance

They are like a lion hungry for prey

Like a great lion crouching in cover

Their throats are open graves

Their tongues practise deceit
The poison of vipers is on their lips
Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness


Give me a sign of your goodness
That my enemies may see it and be put to shame

Let them be caught in their pride
For the curses and lies they utter


The way of peace they do not know
There is no fear of God before their eyes
O Lord, by your hand save me from such men

Of this world whose reward is in this life

They are like a lion hungry for prey

Like a great lion crouching in cover

Their throats are open graves

Their tongues practise deceit
The poison of vipers is on their lips
Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness


But I - in righteousness I shall see your face
When I awake, I shall be satisfied with seeing your

likeness

Their throats are open graves

Their tongues practise deceit
The poison of vipers is on their lips
Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness...
