Psalms 17:9-13 New English Translation (NET)

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

10. They are calloused;they speak arrogantly.

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

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

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