12 They are[a] like a lion eager to tear,
like a young lion lurking in ambush.(A)

13 Rise up, Lord!
Confront him; bring him down.(B)
With Your sword, save me from the wicked.(C)
14 With Your hand, Lord, save me from men,
from men of the world
whose portion is in this life:
You fill their bellies with what You have in store;
their sons are satisfied,
and they leave their surplus to their children.(D)

  1. Psalm 17:12 Lit He is

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.
