Psalm 17:12-14

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹²They are like a lion eager to tear,
as a young lion lurking in ambush.

¹³Arise, O Lord! confront them, overthrow them!
    Deliver my life from the wicked by thy sword,
¹⁴from men by thy hand, O Lord,
    from men whose portion in life is of the world.
May their belly be filled with what thou hast stored up for them;
    may their children have more than enough;
    may they leave something over to their babes.
