Psalms 17:11-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 17
11They have now surrounded us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the ground. 12He is like a lion that is eager to tear, And as a young lion lurking in secret places. 13Arise, Lord, confront him, make him bow down; Save my soul from the wicked with Your sword, 14From people by Your hand, Lord, From people of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly You fill with Your treasure; They are satisfied with children, And leave their abundance to their babies.King James Version
Chapter 17
11They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; 12Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. 13Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword: 14From 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.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 17
11They advance against me; now they surround me. They are determined to throw me to the ground.New Living Translation
Chapter 17
11They track me down and surround me, watching for the chance to throw me to the ground. 12They are like hungry lions, eager to tear me apart — like young lions hiding in ambush.
13Arise, O Lord! Stand against them, and bring them to their knees! Rescue me from the wicked with your sword!
14By the power of your hand, O Lord, destroy those who look to this world for their reward. But satisfy the hunger of your treasured ones. May their children have plenty, leaving an inheritance for their descendants.
