Psalms 17:11 in Context — Psalms 17

9 Contre les méchants qui me persécutent, Contre mes ennemis acharnés qui m’enveloppent.

10 Ils ferment leurs entrailles, Ils ont à la bouche des paroles hautaines.

11 Ils sont sur nos pas, déjà ils nous entourent, Ils nous épient pour nous terrasser.

12 On dirait un lion avide de déchirer, Un lionceau aux aguets dans son repaire.

13 Lève-toi, Éternel, marche à sa rencontre, renverse-le! Délivre-moi du méchant par ton glaive!
