Verse 9 is found in chapter 143 of Psalms. Psalm 143 combines confession of human inability with a request for guidance and deliverance. The psalmist knows that no human being can be declared righteous before God and therefore asks the Lord not to enter into judgment with him. Memory of ancient works directs the prayer toward the future: knowing God’s way, receiving his Spirit, and being led on level ground. Deliverance from enemies is integrated within a deeper request for obedience.

Errette mich, mein Gott, von meinen Feinden; zu dir habe ich Zuflucht.

Délivre-moi de mes ennemis, ô Eternel! Auprès de toi je cherche un refuge.
Signore, riscuotimi da’ miei nemici; Io mi riduco a te per nascondermi.
Livra-me, ó SENHOR, dos meus inimigos; fujo para ti, para me esconder.
耶和華啊,求你救我脫離我的仇敵! 我往你那裏藏身。
