New English Translation

Psalms 17:11-15 New English Translation (NET)

11. They attack me, now they surround me;they intend to throw me to the ground.

12. He is like a lion that wants to tear its prey to bits,like a young lion crouching in hidden places.

13. Rise up, Lord!Confront him! Knock him down!Use your sword to rescue me from the wicked man!

14. Lord, use your power to deliver me from these murderers,from the murderers of this world!They enjoy prosperity;you overwhelm them with the riches they desire.They have many children,and leave their wealth to their offspring.

15. As for me, because I am innocent I will see your face;when I awake you will reveal yourself to me.
