"From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. "
— Psalms 17:9, American King James Version
“From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.”
“From the wicked that oppress me, My deadly enemies, that compass me about. ”
“from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who surround me.”
“Protect me from the wicked men who attack me, my enemies who crowd around me for the kill.”
“There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: coals were kindled by it.”
“From the evil-doers who are violent to me, and from those who are round me, desiring my death.”
“From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.”
I have called on you, for you will hear me, O God: incline your ear to me, and hear my speech.
Show your marvelous loving kindness, O you that save by your right hand them which put their trust in you from those that rise up against them.
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of your wings,
From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
