13 Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him!
    Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
14 from men by your hand, O Lord,
    from (A)men of the world whose (B)portion is in this life.[a]
You fill their womb with treasure;[b]
    they are satisfied with (C)children,
    and they leave their abundance to their infants.

15 As for me, I shall (D)behold your face in righteousness;
    when I (E)awake, I shall be (F)satisfied with your likeness.

14 By your hand save me from such people, Lord,
    from those of this world(C) whose reward is in this life.(D)
May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies;
    may their children gorge themselves on it,
    and may there be leftovers(E) for their little ones.

    when I awake,(F) I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.(G)

13 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

14 From men which are thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
