“He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey,as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.”
Psalm 17:12 (WEB)
Context Reading
10They close up their callous hearts.With their mouth they speak proudly. 11They have now surrounded us in our steps.They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth. 12He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey,as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. 13Arise, Yahweh, confront him.Cast him down.Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword, 14from men by your hand, Yahweh,from men of the world, whose portion is in this life.You fill the belly of your cherished ones.Your sons have plenty,and they store up wealth for their children.
