Psalms

Psalm 17:14–15

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.

¹⁵As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness;

when I awake, I will be satisfied in Your presence.
