11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me,

with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.

12 They are like a lion hungry for prey,

like a fierce lion crouching in cover.

13 Rise up, Lord, confront them, bring them down;

with your sword rescue me from the wicked.

11 They have now surrounded our steps;

they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.

12 He is like a lion eager to tear,

as a young lion lurking in ambush.

13 Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him!

Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,

11 They have now compassed us in our steps:

They have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey,

And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

13 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down:

Deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

11 They track me down and surround me,

watching for the chance to throw me to the ground.

12 They are like hungry lions, eager to tear me apart—

like young lions hiding in ambush.

13 Arise, O Lord!

Stand against them, and bring them to their knees!

Rescue me from the wicked with your sword!

11 They have chased me until they have surrounded me.

They plan to throw me to the ground.

12 They are like lions ready to kill;

like lions, they sit in hiding.

13 Lord, rise up, face the enemy, and throw them down.

Save me from the wicked with your sword.

11 They have now compassed us in our steps;

They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.

12 He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey,

And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

13 Arise, O Jehovah,

Confront him, cast him down:

Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword;

11 They have now encompassed us in our steps; their eyes have they set, bowing down to the earth. 12 He is like a lion that is greedy of its prey, and as a young lion lurking in secret places. 13 Arise, Jehovah, anticipate him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, thy sword;

11 They have tracked me down. 

They have surrounded me. 

They have focused their attention on throwing me to the ground. 

12 Each one of them is like a lion eager to tear ⸤its prey⸥ apart 

and like a young lion crouching in hiding places. 

13 Arise, O Lord; confront them! 

Bring them to their knees! 

With your sword rescue my life from wicked people. 

11 They advance against me; now they surround me.

They are determined

to throw me to the ground.

12 They are like a lion eager to tear,

like a young lion lurking in ambush.

13 Rise up, Lord!

Confront him; bring him down.

With Your sword, save me from the wicked.

11 They track me down; now they surround me;

they set their eyes to cast me to the ground.

12 They are like a lion eager to tear,

like a young lion lurking in ambush.

13 Rise up, O Lord, confront them, overthrow them!

By your sword deliver my life from the wicked,

11 Now they surround us at our every step.

They intend

to pin me to the ground.

12 He is like a lion; he longs to tear apart,

and like a strong lion crouching in hiding places.

13 Rise up, O Yahweh, confront him.

Make him bow down.

Rescue with your sword my life from the wicked,

11 They have tracked me down. They are all around me.

Their eyes watch for a chance to throw me to the ground.

12 They are like a hungry lion, waiting to attack.

They are like a powerful lion, hiding in the bushes.

13 Lord, rise up. Oppose them and bring them down.

With your sword, save me from those evil people.

11 They have now surrounded us in our steps;

They set their eyes to cast us down to the ground.

12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear,

And as a young lion lurking in hiding places.

13 Arise, O Lord, confront him, bring him low;

Deliver my soul from the wicked with Your sword,
