13 Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him!
    Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
14 from men by your hand, O Lord,
    from (A)men of the world whose (B)portion is in this life.[a]
You fill their womb with treasure;[b]
    they are satisfied with (C)children,
    and they leave their abundance to their infants.
15 As for me, I shall (D)behold your face in righteousness;
    when I (E)awake, I shall be (F)satisfied with your likeness.

    from those of this world(C) whose reward is in this life.(D)
May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies;

    and may there be leftovers(E) for their little ones.

    when I awake,(F) I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.(G)
