Psalm 17:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹²Each one of them is like a lion eager to tear ⌞its prey⌟ apart
and like a young lion crouching in hiding places.

¹³Arise, O Lord; confront them!
Bring them to their knees!
With your sword rescue my life from wicked people.
¹⁴With your power rescue me from mortals, O Lord,
from mortals who enjoy their inheritance only in this life.
You fill their bellies with your treasure.
Their children are satisfied ⌞with it⌟,
and they leave what remains to their children.
