Psalm 17:12-14
Contemporary English Version
Psalm 17:12-14
Contemporary English Version
12 They are like hungry lions
hunting for food,
or like young lions
hiding in ambush.
13 Do something, Lord!
Attack and defeat them.
Take your sword and save me
from those evil people.
14 Use your powerful arm
and rescue me
from the hands of mere humans
whose world won't last.[a]
You provide food
for those you love.
Their children have plenty,
and their grandchildren
will have more than enough.
