Psalms 17:7-15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

7. Show wondrously your acts of loyal love, O Savior of those who take refuge at your right hand from those who rise up against them.

8. Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me in the shadow of your wings

9. from the presence of the wicked who destroy me, those enemies against my life, they that surround me.

10. They have shut off their calloused heart; with their mouth they speak arrogantly.

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.
