New Testament

Psalms 17:9-14 New Living Translation (NLT)

9. Protect me from wicked people who attack me,from murderous enemies who surround me.

10. They are without pity.Listen to their boasting!

11. They track me down and surround me,watching for the chance to throw me to the ground.

12. They are like hungry lions, eager to tear me apart—like young lions hiding in ambush.

13. Arise, O  lord!Stand against them, and bring them to their knees!Rescue me from the wicked with your sword!

14. By the power of your hand, O  lord,destroy those who look to this world for their reward.But satisfy the hunger of your treasured ones.May their children have plenty,leaving an inheritance for their descendants.
