9From the wicked who despoil me,
         My deadly enemies who surround me.

10They have closed their unfeeling heart,
         With their mouth they speak proudly.

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

12He is like a lion that is eager to tear,
         And as a young lion lurking in hiding places.

13Arise, O LORD, confront him, bring him low;
         Deliver my soul from the wicked with Your sword,

14From men with Your hand, O LORD,
         From men of the world, whose portion is in this life,
         And whose belly You fill with Your treasure;
         They are satisfied with children,
         And leave their abundance to their babes.

15As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness;
         I will be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake.
