"They attack me, now they surround me; they intend to throw me to the ground."
— Psalms 17:11, NET Bible
“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.”
“And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.”
“They have made a circle round our steps: their eyes are fixed on us, forcing us down to the earth;”
“They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;”
Protect me as you would protect the pupil of your eye! Hide me in the shadow of your wings!
Protect me from the wicked men who attack me, my enemies who crowd around me for the kill.
They are calloused; they speak arrogantly.
They attack me, now they surround me; they intend to throw me to the ground.
He is like a lion that wants to tear its prey to bits, like a young lion crouching in hidden places.
Rise up, LORD! Confront him! Knock him down! Use your sword to rescue me from the wicked man!
LORD, use your power to deliver me from these murderers, from the murderers of this world! They enjoy prosperity; you overwhelm them with the riches they desire. They have many children, and leave their wealth to their offspring.
