Psalms 17:11-15
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. 15As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake.King James Version
Chapter 17
11They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 17
11They advance against me; now they surround me. They are determined to throw me to the ground.
12They are like a lion eager to tear, like a young lion lurking in ambush.
13Rise up, Lord! Confront him; bring him down. With your sword, save me from the wicked.
14With your hand, Lord, save me from men, from men of the world whose portion is in this life: You fill their bellies with what you have in store; their sons are satisfied, and they leave their surplus to their children.
15But I will see your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied with your presence.
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.
15Because I am righteous, I will see you. When I awake, I will see you face to face and be satisfied.
English Standard Version
Chapter 17
11They have now surrounded our steps; they set their eyes to cast us to the ground. 12He is like a lion eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in ambush. 13Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword, 14from men by your hand, O Lord, from men of the world whose portion is in this life. You fill their womb with treasure; they are satisfied with children, and they leave their abundance to their infants. 15As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.New International Version
Chapter 17
11They have tracked me down, they now surround me, with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
12They are like a lion hungry for prey, like a fierce lion crouching in cover.
13Rise up, Lord, confront them, bring them down; with your sword rescue me from the wicked.
14By your hand save me from such people, Lord, from those of this world whose reward is in this life. May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies; may their children gorge themselves on it, and may there be leftovers for their little ones.
15As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.
