¹ (53) For the end, [a Psalm] of David upon Maeleth, of instruction. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God.

There were they greatly afraid, where there was no fear: ⁵ or God has scattered the bones of the men-pleasers; they were ashamed, for God despised them. ⁶ Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? When the Lord turns the captivity of his people, Jacob shall exult, and Israel shall be glad.

And David said, Behold, there is none like it; give it me.

⁸ That you⌃ are conspiring against me, and there is no one that informs me, whereas my son has made a covenant with the son of Jessae, and there is no one of you that is sorry for me, or informs me, that my son has stirred up my servant against me for an enemy, as [it is] this day?

³² And Jonathan answered Saul, Why is he to die? What has he done?

² And David said to the priest, The king gave me a command today, and said to me, Let no one know the matter on which I send you, an concerning which I have charged you: and I have charged my servants [to be] in the place that is called, The faithfulness of God, Phellani Maemoni.

¹¹ Behold, your eyes have seen this day how that the Lord has delivered you this day into my hands in the cave; and I would not kill you, but spared you, and said, I will not lift up my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord's anointed.

²³ And the Lord shall recompense each according to his righteousness and his truth, since the Lord delivered you this day into my hands, and I would not lift my hand against the Lord's anointed.

²³ For all his judgments and his ordinances [were] before me: I departed not from them. ²⁴ And I shall be blameless before him, and will keep myself from my iniquity. ²⁵ And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands in his eye-sight.

¹¹ Deliver them that are led away to death, and redeem them that are appointed to be slain; spare not [your help]. ¹² But if you should say, I know not this man; know that the Lord knows the hearts of all; and he that formed breath for all, he knows all things, who renders to every man according to his works.
