10  They close their hearts to pity;

with their mouths they speak arrogantly.

11  They have now surrounded our steps;

they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.

12  He is ^elike a lion eager to tear,

as a young lion lurking in ambush.

13  Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him!

Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,

14  from men by your hand, O Lord,

from men of the world whose portion is in this life.¹

You fill their womb with treasure;²

they are satisfied with children,

and they leave their abundance to their infants.

15  As for me, I shall ^fbehold your face in righteousness;

when I ^gawake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.
