9 From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.

11 Our steps now have compassed him;' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.

13 Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword,

14 From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion is in life, And with Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied with sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.
