¹⁰⁹ My soul `is' in my hand continually, And Thy law I have not forgotten.

¹⁴ Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth? And my soul put in my hand?

³ and I see that thou art not a saviour, and I put my life in my hand, and pass over unto the Bene-Ammon, and Jehovah giveth them into my hand -- and why have ye come up unto me this day to fight against me?'

²³ ministrants of Christ are they? -- as beside myself I speak -- I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times;

³¹ Every day do I die, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord:

³⁶ (according as it hath been written -- `For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,')

¹⁵² Of old I have known Thy testimonies, That to the age Thou hast founded them!

¹¹⁷ Support Thou me, and I am saved, And I look on Thy statutes continually.

⁸³ For I have been as a bottle in smoke, Thy statutes I have not forgotten.

³ And David sweareth again, and saith, `Thy father hath certainly known that I have found grace in thine eyes, and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved; and yet, Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, but -- as a step between me and death.'

⁵ yea, he putteth his life in his hand, and smiteth the Philistine, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation for all Israel; thou hast seen, and dost rejoice, and why dost thou sin against innocent blood, to put David to death for nought?'
