"They have made a circle round our steps: their eyes are fixed on us, forcing us down to the earth;"
— Psalms 17:11, Bible in Basic English
“They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;”
“They have now compassed us in our steps; They set their eyes to castusdown to the earth. ”
“They have now surrounded us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.”
“They attack me, now they surround me; they intend to throw me to the ground.”
“And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.”
“They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;”
Keep me as the light of your eyes, covering me with the shade of your wings,
From the evil-doers who are violent to me, and from those who are round me, desiring my death.
They are shut up in their fat: with their mouths they say words of pride.
They have made a circle round our steps: their eyes are fixed on us, forcing us down to the earth;
Like a lion desiring its food, and like a young lion waiting in secret places.
Up! Lord, come out against him, make him low, with your sword be my saviour from the evil-doer.
With your hand, O Lord, from men, even men of the world, whose heritage is in this life, and whom you make full with your secret wealth: they are full of children; after their death their offspring take the rest of their goods.
