13 Up Lord, [a]disappoint him: cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked [b]with thy sword,

14 From men by thine [c]hand, O Lord, from men [d]of the world, who have their [e]portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children have enough, and leave the rest of their substance for their children.

15 But I will behold thy face [f]in righteousness, and when I [g]wake, I shall be satisfied with thine image.
