7 Even when I’m walking with danger all around me,

you will preserve my life.

You actively oppose the anger of my enemies,

and you save me with your intervention.

8 Yahweh will avenge them for me.

Your loyal affection continues forever.

You don’t abandon the work that you started.

2 I _will _bow _down to the _temple holy_your and_give _thanks DOM your(ms)_name on steadfast _love_your and_for faithfulness_your if/because you _have _made _great over all name_your word_your.
