Psalm 17:13-14

Rise up, LORD, confront them, bring them down; with your sword rescue me from the wicked. By your hand save me from such people, LORD, from those of this world whose reward is in this life. May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies; may their children gorge themselves on it, and may there be leftovers for their little ones.

Rise up, LORD 
Numbers 10:35  Whenever the ark set out, Moses said, "Rise up, LORD! May your enemies be scattered; may your foes flee before you."

confront them, bring them down

Psalm 55:23  But you, God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of decay; the bloodthirsty and deceitful will not live out half their days. But as for me, I trust in you.
Psalm 73:18  Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin.

By your hand save me from such people, LORD, from those of this world 
Luke 16:8  "The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light."

whose reward is in this life 
Psalm 49:16-17  Do not be overawed when others grow rich, when the splendor of their houses increases; for they will take nothing with them when they die, their splendor will not descend with them.
Luke 16:25  "But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.' "

and may there be leftovers for their little ones 
Isaiah 2:7  Their land is full of silver and gold; there is no end to their treasures. Their land is full of horses; there is no end to their chariots. (the descendants of Jacob)
Isaiah 57:17  "I was enraged by their sinful greed; I punished them, and hid my face in anger, yet they kept on in their willful ways."
