Psalm 17:10-15 Amplified Bible (AMP)

10. They are enclosed in their own prosperity and have shut up their hearts to pity; with their mouths they make exorbitant claims and proudly and arrogantly speak.

11. They track us down in each step we take; now they surround us; they set their eyes to cast us to the ground,

12. Like a lion greedy and eager to tear his prey, and as a young lion lurking in hidden places.

13. Arise, O Lord! Confront and forestall them, cast them down! Deliver my life from the wicked by Your sword,

14. From men by Your hand, O Lord, from men of this world [these poor moths of the night] whose portion in life is idle and vain. Their bellies are filled with Your hidden treasure [what You have stored up]; their children are satiated, and they leave the rest [of their] wealth to their babes.

15. As for me, I will continue beholding Your face in righteousness (rightness, justice, and right standing with You); I shall be fully satisfied, when I awake [to find myself] beholding Your form [and having sweet communion with You].
