Psalm 17:12-14
Evangelical Heritage Version
12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear,
like a young lion crouching in its hiding place.
13 Rise, O Lord. Confront him. Bring him down.
Save my life from the wicked by your sword.
14 Save me from such men by your hand, O Lord,
from men of this world, whose reward is in this life.
Closing Confidence
14b But you fill the stomachs of those whom you treasure.[a]
Their children are satisfied,
and they leave their wealth to their children.
Footnotes
- Psalm 17:14 Many translations join verse 14b with the first part of verse 14, understanding it as an observation about the worldly prosperity of the ungodly. They translate with your treasure you fill their stomachs.
Psalm 17:12-14
New International Version
13 Rise up,(C) Lord, confront them, bring them down;(D)
with your sword rescue me from the wicked.
14 By your hand save me from such people, Lord,
from those of this world(E) whose reward is in this life.(F)
May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies;
may their children gorge themselves on it,
and may there be leftovers(G) for their little ones.
