Psalm 17:12-14
Common English Bible
Psalm 17:12-14
Common English Bible
12 They are like a lion eager to rip its prey;
they are like a strong young lion lying in wait.
13 Get up, Lord!
Confront them!
Bring them down!
Rescue my life from the wicked—
use your sword!
14 Rescue me from these people—
use your own hands, Lord!
Rescue me from these people
whose only possession is their fleeting life.[a]
But fill the stomachs of your cherished ones;
let their children be filled full
so that they have leftovers enough for their babies.
