Psalms 17:13

11 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.

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

14 from 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.

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

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
