12 They are like hungry lions.
    They want to tear me into pieces.
They are hiding like young lions.
    They are ready to jump out and catch me!
13 Lord, please do something!
    Fight against them! Knock them down!
Take your sword and save me from those wicked men.
14 Lord, use your power to save me from them.
They only think about this world,
    and they enjoy the good things that it gives them.
So give them all that you have ready for them.
    Give them more than they want!
May their children also have plenty,
    and enough left to give to their children too.

12 They are like a lion(A) hungry for prey,(B)
    like a fierce lion crouching in cover.

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.
