American Standard Version
Psalm 17:12-14
American Standard Version
12 He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey,
And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O Jehovah,
[a]Confront him, cast him down:
Deliver my soul from [b]the wicked by thy sword;
14 From [c]men by thy hand, O Jehovah,
From men [d]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.
