Psalms 17:10-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

10. They close their hard hearts;with their mouth they speak proudly.

11. They have now encircled us in our steps;they have set their eyes to bend down to the earth;

12. it is like a lion that is anxious to rip its prey,and as a young lion lurking in secrecy.

13. Arise, O Lord! Confront him, cast him down!Deliver my soul from the wicked by Your sword,

14. from men by Your hand, O Lord,from men of the world whose portion is in this life. You fill their belly with Your treasure;they are satisfied with children,and they leave their abundance to their infants.

15. As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;I will be satisfied when I awake with Your likeness.
