Bible in Basic English
"Like a lion desiring its food, and like a young lion waiting in secret places."
— Psalms 17:12, Bible in Basic English
“Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.”
“He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. ”
“He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.”
From the evil-doers who are violent to me, and from those who are round me, desiring my death.
They are shut up in their fat: with their mouths they say words of pride.
They have made a circle round our steps: their eyes are fixed on us, forcing us down to the earth;
Like a lion desiring its food, and like a young lion waiting in secret places.
Up! Lord, come out against him, make him low, with your sword be my saviour from the evil-doer.
With your hand, O Lord, from men, even men of the world, whose heritage is in this life, and whom you make full with your secret wealth: they are full of children; after their death their offspring take the rest of their goods.
As for me, I will see your face in righteousness: when I am awake it will be joy enough for me to see your form.
