Blessed be the Lord, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth!
You [my adversary] thrust sorely at me that I might fall, but the Lord helped me.
From the wicked who despoil and oppress me, my deadly adversaries who surround me.
Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the Lord; for the king of Israel is come out to seek one flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.
