⁵ And Joab came into the house to the king and said, Today you have put to shame the faces of all your servants who even now have kept you and your sons and your daughters and your wives and all your women safe from death;

²⁷ And so you gave them up into the hands of their haters who were cruel to them: and in the time of their trouble, when they made their prayer to you, you gave ear to them from heaven; and in your great mercy gave them saviours, who made them free from the hands of their haters.

⁸ Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah.)

⁴⁷ It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule.

⁴⁸ He makes me free from my haters; I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man.
