And hide me in the shadow of your wings,

9 The wicked who do me violence, my deadly enemies
who surround me.

to cast us to the ground.

whose portion is in this life.2

And leave their abundance to their infants.

in righteousness when I awake,
As for me, I shall behold your face
I shall be satisfied with your likeness.
