My eyes are always on the Lord. He removes my feet from traps.
All Israel is looking to you, Your Majesty, to tell them who should succeed you on your throne.
You’re our God. Won’t you judge them? We don’t have the strength to face this large crowd that is attacking us. We don’t know what to do, so we’re looking to you.”
As servants depend on their masters, as a maid depends on her mistress, so we depend on the Lord our God until he has pity on us.
My eyes look to you, Lord Almighty. I have taken refuge in you. Do not leave me defenseless.
You are my refuge, so pull me out of the net that they have secretly laid for me.
“Wicked people are found among my people. They lie in ambush like bird catchers. They set traps and catch people.
