Psalm 17:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² They are like a lion eager to rip its prey;
    they are like a strong young lion lying in wait.

¹³ Get up, Lord!
    Confront them!
    Bring them down!
Rescue my life from the wicked—
    use your sword!
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;
    let their children be filled full
    so that they have leftovers enough for their babies.
