"from the face of the impious who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul. "
— Psalms 16:9, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.”
“Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: My flesh also shall dwell in safety. ”
“Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.”
“So my heart rejoices and I am happy; My life is safe.”
“From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:”
“Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.”
“Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.”
I have cried out because you, O God, have listened to me. Incline your ear to me and heed my words.
Make your mercies wonderful, for you save those who hope in you.
From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings,
from the face of the impious who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul.
They have concealed their fatness; their mouth has been speaking arrogantly.
They have cast me out, and now they have surrounded me. They have cast their eyes down to the earth.
They have taken me, like a lion ready for the prey, and like a young lion dwelling in hiding.
