A psalm for David himself. Unto thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not thou silent to me: lest thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
And he put guards in Edom, and placed there a garrison: and all Edom was made to serve David. And the Lord preserved David in all enterprises he went about.
And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and Syria served David under tribute. And the Lord preserved David in all his enterprises, whithersoever he went.
