Protect me as the most precious part of the eye; hide me under the shadow of your wings

Deliver me from the sword; my precious life from the power of the dog.

LORD, how long will you just watch? Rescue me from their destruction, my precious life from these young lions.

How precious is your gracious love, God! The children of men take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

He will redeem them from oppression and violence, since their lives are precious in his sight.

It is like precious oil on the head, descending to the beard even to Aaron's beard and flowing down to the edge of his robes.
