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;

    so that they have leftovers enough for their babies.

15 But me? I will see your face in righteousness;
    when I awake, I will be filled full by seeing your image.

  1. Psalm 17:14 Heb uncertain

14 By your hand save me from such people, Lord,

15 As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face;
    when I awake,(D) I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.(E)
