Psalms 17:12-13

Context

17:12 He 1  is like a lion 2  that wants to tear its prey to bits, 3 

like a young lion crouching 4  in hidden places.

17:13 Rise up, Lord!

Confront him! 5  Knock him down! 6 

Use your sword to rescue me from the wicked man! 7 

1 tn Here the psalmist switches to the singular pronoun; he views his enemies collectively, or singles out a representative of the group, perhaps its leader.

2 tn Heb “his likeness [is] like a lion.”

3 tn Heb “[that] longs to tear.”

4 tn Heb “sitting.”

5 tn Heb “Be in front of his face.”

6 tn Or “bring him to his knees.”

7 tn Heb “rescue my life from the wicked [one] [by] your sword.”
