A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. O Jehovah, how ones pressing me have increased! Many are rising against me.
And Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, had come into Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
Set out your wonderful loving-kindness by Your right hand, O Savior of those seeking refuge from those rising against them.
But brother will give over brother to death, and the father his child. And children will rise up against parents and will put them to death.
And answering, all the people said, His blood be on us and on our children.
And all these kings met together. And they came and camped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
