Psalms 17:12 in Context — Psalms 17
10 Cerrados están con su grosura; con su boca hablan soberbiamente.
11 Nuestros pasos nos han cercado ahora: puestos tienen sus ojos para echar[nos] por tierra.
12 Parecen al león que desea hacer presa, y al leoncillo que está escondido.
13 Levántate, oh Jehová; prevén su encuentro, póstrale: libra mi alma del malo con tu espada;
14 De los hombres con tu mano, oh Jehová, de los hombres de mundo, cuya parte es en [esta] vida, y cuyo vientre hinches de tu tesoro: hartan [sus] hijos, y dejan el resto á sus chiquitos.
