Psalm 17:12-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 They are like a lion eager to tear,
like a young lion lurking in ambush.(A)
13 Rise up, O Lord, confront them, overthrow them!
By your sword deliver my life from the wicked,(B)
14 from mortals—by your hand, O Lord—
from mortals whose portion in life is in this world.
May their bellies be filled with what you have stored up for them;
may their children have more than enough;
may they leave something over to their little ones.(C)
