6 It while I'm lying on my Beds ‖ I do remember thee, ‖ if in the watches of the Night ‖ I meditate in thee. ‖
7 Because that thou hast been to me ‖ an help once and again, ‖ and in the shadow of thy wings ‖ I do triumph with joy. ‖
8 Still closely following after thee ‖ my Soul does cleave to thee: ‖ Thy right-hand doth sustain me so ‖ that I am kept from falls. ‖
9 But they who seek my Soul to bring ‖ destruction upon it: ‖ These shall go surely down into ‖ the low parts of the Earth. ‖
