Psalm 17:12-14
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.

Psalm 17:12-14
New International Version
13 Rise up,(C) Lord, confront them, bring them down;(D)
with your sword rescue me from the wicked.
14 By your hand save me from such people, Lord,
from those of this world(E) whose reward is in this life.(F)
May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies;
may their children gorge themselves on it,
and may there be leftovers(G) for their little ones.
