Confront him, cast him down;
Deliver my life from the wicked with Your sword,

And whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure.
They are satisfied with children,
And leave the rest of their possession for their babes.

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