9from the wicked who assail me,
from my mortal enemies who surround me.
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,
— Psalm 17:9-13
