Psalms 17:11-15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

11. Now they surround us at our every step. They intend to pin me to the ground.

12. He is like a lion; he longs to tear apart, and like a strong lion crouching in hiding places.

13. Rise up, O Yahweh, confront him. Make him bow down. Rescue with your sword my life from the wicked,

14. from men by your hand, O Yahweh, from men of this world. Their share is in this life, and you fill their stomach with your treasure. They are satisfied with children. They bequeath their excess to their children.

15. By contrast, I in righteousness shall see your face. Upon awakening I will be satisfied seeing your form.
