7Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge [in thee ]From those that rise up [against them].

9From the wicked that oppress me, My deadly enemies, that compass me about.

14From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in [this] life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with [beholding] thy form.
