12 They are like hungry lions
    hunting for food,
or like young lions
    hiding in ambush.

13 Do something, Lord!
    Attack and defeat them.
Take your sword and save me
    from those evil people.
14 Use your powerful arm
    and rescue me
from the hands of mere humans
    whose world won't last.[a]

You provide food
    for those you love.
Their children have plenty,
and their grandchildren
    will have more than enough.
