⁹ From the evil-doers who are violent to me, and from those who are round me, desiring my death.

¹¹ Look! you have seen today how the Lord gave you up into my hands even now in the hollow of the rocks: and some would have had me put you to death, but I had pity on you: for I said, Never will my hand be lifted up against my lord, who has been marked with the holy oil.

⁹ And I will make a resting-place for my people Israel, planting them there, so that they may be in the place which is theirs and never again be moved; and never again will they be made waste by evil men, as they were at first,

⁵ Let my hater go after my soul and take it; let my life be crushed to the earth, and my honour into the dust. (Selah.)

²⁰ You will keep them safe in your house from the designs of man; in the secret of your tent will you keep them from angry tongues.

⁴ Let them be overcome and put to shame who make attempts to take my soul; let those who would do me damage be turned back and made foolish.

⁷ For without cause they have put a net ready for me secretly, in which to take my soul.

¹² They gave me back evil for good, troubling my soul.
