Arise, O Lord! confront them, overthrow them!
Deliver my life from the wicked by thy sword,
from men by thy hand, O Lord,
from men whose portion in life is of the world.
May their belly be filled with what thou hast stored up for them;
may their children have more than enough;
may they leave something over to their babes.
As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness;
when I awake, I shall be satisfied with beholding thy form.
Ps 17:13-15 RSV. מִֽמְתִים מֵחֶלֶד חֶלְקָם בַּֽחַיִּים: from men of [the] duration (of life)/aeon/world their portion in th[is] life. מֵ is taken here as partitive (BDB 3 (p. 580, col. 2)).
