Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

Mine eye wasteth away through grief; it hath grown old because of all mine oppressors.

Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.

I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go; I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,

Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; let them not wink with the eye that hate me without cause.

And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said, Aha! aha! our eye hath seen it.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen its desire upon mine enemies.

Mine eye consumeth by reason of affliction. Upon thee, Jehovah, have I called every day; I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

And mine eye shall see its desire on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear it of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
