My soul is among lions;\par\tab I lie among them that are set on fire,\par\tab Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows,\par\tab And their tongue a sharp sword.
Draw me not away with the wicked,\par\tab And with the workers of iniquity;\par\tab That speak peace with their neighbors,\par\tab But mischief is in their hearts.
They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity;\par\tab They delight in lies;\par\tab They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. {\i Selah
And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son-in-law.
And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
