From the wicked that oppress me, My deadly enemies, that compass me about.
They are inclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly.
They have now compassed us in our steps; They set their eyes to castusdown to the earth.

Arise, O Jehovah, Confront him, cast him down: Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword;
From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is inthislife, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with beholding thy form.
