Psalms 17:9-13

⁹from the presence of the wicked ones who assault me, my enemies who surround me.

¹⁰They have no mercy on anyone; their mouths speak with pride.

¹¹They have surrounded my steps. They set their eyes to strike me to the ground.

¹²They are like a lion eager for a victim, like a young lion crouching in hidden places.

¹³Arise, Yahweh! Attack them! Throw them down on their faces! Rescue my life from the wicked by your sword!
