Before I was afflicted I used to stray off, but now I keep your instructions.

I stay away from the evil path, so that I might keep your instructions.

Tears stream down from my eyes, because people do not keep your law.

I take note of the treacherous and despise them, because they do not keep your instructions.

I keep your precepts and rules, for you are aware of everything I do.

May he not allow your foot to slip! May your protector not sleep!

Look! Israel’s protector does not sleep or slumber!

The Lord is your protector; the Lord is the shade at your right hand.

The Lord will protect you in all you do, now and forevermore.

If you, O Lord, were to keep track of sins, O Lord, who could stand before you?

Protect me from the snare they have laid for me, and the traps the evildoers have set.

You, Lord, will protect them; you will continually shelter each one from these evil people,

I hate those who serve worthless idols, but I trust in the Lord.

Rely on the Lord! Obey his commands! Then he will permit you to possess the land; you will see the demise of evil men.

May the Lord protect him and save his life! May he be blessed in the land! Do not turn him over to his enemies!

They stalk and lurk; they watch my every step, as they prepare to take my life.

Protect me, for I am loyal! O my God, deliver your servant, who trusts in you!

You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of his faithful followers; he delivers them from the power of the wicked.

He spoke to them from a pillar of cloud; they obeyed his regulations and the ordinance he gave them.

O Lord, shelter me from the power of the wicked! Protect me from violent men, who plan to knock me over.
