³ For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.

⁶ They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

⁴ Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I took not away -- I bring back.

¹¹ `And, my father, see, yea see the skirt of thine upper robe in my hand; for by cutting off the skirt of thy upper robe, and I have not slain thee, know and see that there is not in my hand evil and transgression, and I have not sinned against thee, and thou art hunting my soul to take it!

²¹ thou, therefore, mayest thou not yield to them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who did anathematize themselves -- not to eat nor to drink till they kill him, and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from thee.'

²⁶ the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ;

²⁷ for gathered together of a truth against Thy holy child Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel,

³³ Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.

⁹ He lieth in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lieth in wait to catch the poor, He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.

¹⁰ He is bruised -- he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.

³ O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,

⁴ If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,

⁵ An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.

¹⁷ And he saith unto David, `More righteous thou `art' than I; for thou hast done me good, and I have done thee evil;

¹ And Saul speaketh unto Jonathan his son, and unto all his servants, to put David to death,
