King James Version

Psalms 17:9-12

9From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.1 2

10They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

11They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

12Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.3 4
