Rh :Incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
 * Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee
 * From those that rise up against them.
 * Keep me as the apple of the eye,
 * Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
 * From the wicked that oppress me,
 * From my deadly enemies, who 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 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.
 * Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down:
 * Deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
 * From men which are thy hand, O Lord,
 * From men of the world, which have their portion in this life,
 * And whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure:
 * They are full of children,
 * And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
 * As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness:
 * I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
