Psalms 17:12
King James Version
“Like as a lion is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.”
Context
9From the wicked that oppress me, my deadly enemies, compass me about.
10They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12Like as a lion is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, thy sword:
14From men thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, their portion in life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid they are full of children, and leave the rest of their to their babes.
15As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
