9 From the resha'im that oppress me, from my deadly enemies threatening my nefesh, who surround me.
10 They have closed up callously and mercilessly against me; with their mouth they speak with ge'ut (pride).
11 At every step they have surrounded me; their purpose is to strike down to ha'aretz;
12 Like aryeh eager to tear his prey, and like a young lion lurking in ambush.
13 Arise, Hashem, confront him, cast him down; deliver my nefesh from the resha with Thy cherev;
14 From men with Thy yad, Hashem, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life, and with Thy treasures Thou fillest their belly; they are satisfied with children, and leave their abundance to their babes.
15 As for me, in tzedek I will behold Thy face; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy temunah (form; see Num 12:8).
