14 With Your hand from men, O Lord,
From men of the world who have their portion in this life,
And whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure.
They are satisfied with children,
And leave the rest of their possession for their babes.

15 As for me, (A)I will see Your face in righteousness;
(B)I shall be satisfied when I (C)awake in Your likeness.

14 from men by your hand, O Yahweh, from men of this world.
Their share is in this life,[a] and you fill their stomach with your treasure.
They are satisfied with children.
They bequeath their excess to their children.
15 By contrast, I in righteousness shall see your face.
Upon awakening I will be satisfied seeing your form.

  1. Psalm 17:14 Literally “the life”

14 By your hand save me from such people, Lord,
    from those of this world(A) whose reward is in this life.(B)
May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies;

    and may there be leftovers(C) for their little ones.

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)
