Old Testament

New Testament

Psalm 17:10-15 American Standard Version (ASV)

10. They are inclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly.

11. They have now compassed us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.

12. He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

13. Arise, O Jehovah, Confront him, cast him down: Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword;

14. From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

15. As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with beholding thy form.
