Context of Psalms 17:15
13Arise, Lord, confront him, make him bow down; Save my soul from the wicked with Your sword, 14From people by Your hand, Lord, From people of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly You fill with Your treasure; They are satisfied with children, And leave their abundance to their babies. As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake.
