9from the wicked who assail me,

from my mortal enemies who surround me.

10They close up their callous hearts,

and their mouths speak with arrogance.

11They have tracked me down, they now surround me,

with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.

12They are like a lion hungry for prey,

like a great lion crouching in cover.

13Rise up, O Lord, confront them, bring them down;

rescue me from the wicked by your sword.

14O Lord, by your hand save me from such men,

from men of this world whose reward is in this life.

You still the hunger of those you cherish;

their sons have plenty,

and they store up wealth for their children.

15And I—in righteousness I will see your face;

when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.
