Psalms 17:9-14

9Protect me from the wicked men who attack me, my enemies who crowd around me for the kill.

10They are calloused; they speak arrogantly.

11They attack me, now they surround me; they intend to throw me to the ground.

12He is like a lion that wants to tear its prey to bits, like a young lion crouching in hidden places.

13Rise up, Lord! Confront him! Knock him down! Use your sword to rescue me from the wicked man!

14Lord, use your power to deliver me from these murderers, from the murderers of this world! They enjoy prosperity; you overwhelm them with the riches they desire. They have many children, and leave their wealth to their offspring.
