Psalm 17:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹²Like hungry lions, they want to kill and eat.
Like young lions, they hide, ready to attack.

¹³Lord, get up^[a] and face the enemy.
    Make them surrender.
    Use your sword and save me from these wicked people.
¹⁴Use your power, Lord,
    and remove them from this life.
But as for the people you treasure,
    fill them with food.
    Give them plenty for their children and their grandchildren.
