In context

¹⁰They have closed their callous hearts; their mouths speak with arrogance.

¹¹They have tracked us down, and now surround us; their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,

¹²Like a lion greedy for prey, like a young lion lurking in ambush.

¹³Arise, O LORD, confront them! Bring them to their knees; deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,

¹⁴From such men, O LORD, by Your hand— from men of the world whose portion is in this life. May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones and satisfy their sons, so they leave their abundance to their children.
