Psalms 17:11
9 from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.
10 They have closed their callous hearts; their mouths speak with arrogance.
They have tracked us down, and now surround us; their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,
12 like a lion greedy for prey, like a young lion lurking in ambush.
13 Arise, O LORD, confront them! Bring them to their knees; deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
