Deliver me, And rescue me out of the hand of strange children; whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity:
To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Give to the king thy judgment, O God: and to the king's son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment.
O Lord, I have heard thy hearing, and was afraid. O Lord, thy work, in the midst of the years bring it to life: In the midst of the years thou shalt make it known: when thou art angry, thou wilt remember mercy.
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face?
Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition.
Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.
A psalm of David against Goliath. Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war.
