American Standard Version
"Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings, "
— Psalms 17:8, American Standard Version
“Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,”
“Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,”
“Protect me as you would protect the pupil of your eye! Hide me in the shadow of your wings!”
“The earth shook and trembled: the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.”
“Keep me as the light of your eyes, covering me with the shade of your wings,”
“Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,”
My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped.
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: Incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge in thee From those that rise upagainst them.
Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
From the wicked that oppress me, My deadly enemies, that compass me about.
They are inclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly.
They have now compassed us in our steps; They set their eyes to castusdown to the earth.
