Psalms

Psalm 17:13–14

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^b and satisfy their sons,

so they leave their abundance to their children.
