12 They are like lions, waiting for me,
    wanting to tear me to pieces.

13 Come, Lord! Oppose my enemies and defeat them!
Save me from the wicked by your sword;
14     save me from those who in this life have all they want.

    and some left over for their children's children!

14 By your hand save me from such people, Lord,
    from those of this world(E) whose reward is in this life.(F)

    may their children gorge themselves on it,
    and may there be leftovers(G) for their little ones.
