¹² And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, And destroy all them that afflict my soul; For I am thy servant. Psalm 144 `A Psalm' of David.

⁵ He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.

¹⁶ O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.

¹² Jehovah judge between me and thee, and Jehovah avenge me of thee; but my hand shall not be upon thee.

¹³ As saith the proverb of the ancients, Out of the wicked cometh forth wickedness; but my hand shall not be upon thee.

¹⁴ After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.

¹⁵ Jehovah therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand.

²⁹ And though men be risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the hollow of a sling.

¹⁰ And David said, As Jehovah liveth, Jehovah will smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.

⁵ God will likewise destroy thee for ever; He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah

²³ But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in thee. Psalm 56 For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. `A Psalm' of David. Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath.

⁹⁴ I am thine, save me; For I have sought thy precepts.

¹⁵ But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea; For his lovingkindness `endureth' for ever:

¹⁶ To him that led his people through the wilderness; For his lovingkindness `endureth' for ever:

¹⁷ To him that smote great kings; For his lovingkindness `endureth' for ever;

¹⁸ And slew famous kings; For his lovingkindness `endureth' for ever:

¹⁹ Sihon king of the Amorites; For his lovingkindness `endureth' forever;

²⁰ And Og king of Bashan; For his lovingkindness `endureth' for ever;
