Psalm 17:8-14

⁸Keep me as the apple of Your eye;

hide me in the shadow of Your wings

⁹from the wicked who assail me,

from my mortal enemies who surround me.

¹⁰They have closed their callous hearts;

their mouths speak with arrogance.

¹¹They have tracked us down, and now surround us;

their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,

¹²like a lion greedy for prey,

like a young lion lurking in ambush.

¹³Arise, O LORD, confront them!

Bring them to their knees;

deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,

¹⁴from such men, O LORD, by Your hand —

from men of the world

whose portion is in this life.

May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones and satisfy their sons,

so they leave their abundance to their children.
