New International Reader's Version

Psalm 17:11-14 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

11. They have tracked me down. They are all around me. Their eyes watch for a chance to throw me to the ground.

12. They are like a hungry lion, waiting to attack. They are like a powerful lion, hiding in the bushes.

13. Lord, rise up. Oppose them and bring them down. With your sword, save me from those evil people.

14. Lord, by your power save me from people like that. They belong to this world. They get their reward in this life. You satisfy the hunger of those you love. Their children have plenty. And those children store up wealth for their children.
