8 Keep me as the' apple of the eye▪ Hide me under thy [shady] wing,
8 Keep me as th' apple of the eye▪ Hide me under thy [shady] wing,
9 From wicked men that me oppress, And [deadly] foes encompassing.
10 They are inclos'd in their own fat; Their [boasting] mouth doth speak proudly:
11 Us they have compassed in our steps, [Down-looked] to earth they set their eye.
11 Us they have compass'd in our steps, [Down-lookt] to earth they set their eye.
