Psalms 17:12

12 They are like lions, waiting for me, wanting to tear me to pieces.

Psalms 17:12 In-Context

10 they have no pity and speak proudly.
11 They are around me now, wherever I turn, watching for a chance to pull me down.
12 They are like lions, waiting for me, wanting to tear me to pieces.
13 Come, Lord! Oppose my enemies and defeat them! Save me from the wicked by your sword;
14 save me from those who in this life have all they want. Punish them with the sufferings you have stored up for them; may there be enough for their children and some left over for their children's children!
