Psalms 17:7
5 My steps have held to Your paths; my feet have not slipped.
6 I call on You, O God, for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me; hear my words.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
