Vindication, Refuge, and Satisfaction in God’s Face
The psalm moves from an appeal for righteous vindication and divine examination, to a plea for kept steps and refuge under God’s wings, to a description of violent enemies, and finally to a contrast between worldly people satisfied with this life and David’s hope of satisfaction in God’s face.
Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources
6 I call on You, O God, for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me; hear my words.
7 Show the wonders of Your loving devotion, You who save by Your right hand those who seek refuge from their foes.
8 Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings
9 from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.
