6 O God, I pray to you because you answer me;

please listen [MTY] to what I am saying.

7 Show me that you faithfully love me.

By your great power [MTY] rescue those who ◄run to/trust in► you to protect them from their enemies.

8 Protect me as people carefully protect their own eyes;

protect me like birds protect their babies under their wings [MET].

9 Do not allow wicked people to attack me;

my enemies surround me, wanting to kill me.
