1 And David [01732] said [0559] in his heart [03820], I shall now perish [05595] one [0259] day [03117] by the hand [03027] of Saul [07586]: there is nothing better [02896] for me than that [03588] I should speedily [04422] escape [04422] into the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430]; and Saul [07586] shall despair [02976] of me, to seek [01245] me any more in any coast [01366] of Israel [03478]: so shall I escape [04422] out of his hand [03027].

11 And David [01732] saved [02421] neither man [0376] nor woman [0802] alive [02421], to bring [0935] tidings to Gath [01661], saying [0559], Lest they should tell [05046] on us, saying [0559], So did [06213] David [01732], and so will be his manner [04941] all the while [03117] he dwelleth [03427] in the country [07704] of the Philistines [06430].
12 And Achish [0397] believed [0539] David [01732], saying [0559], He hath made his people [05971] Israel [03478] utterly [0887] to abhor [0887] him; therefore he shall be my servant [05650] for ever [05769].
2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], I remember [06485] that which Amalek [06002] did [06213] to Israel [03478], how he laid [07760] wait for him in the way [01870], when he came up [05927] from Egypt [04714].

1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. The LORD [03068] said [05002] unto my Lord [0113], Sit [03427] thou at my right hand [03225], until I make [07896] thine enemies [0341] thy footstool [01916] [07272].
2 The LORD [03068] shall send [07971] the rod [04294] of thy strength [05797] out of Zion [06726]: rule [07287] thou in the midst [07130] of thine enemies [0341].
3 Thy people [05971] shall be willing [05071] in the day [03117] of thy power [02428], in the beauties [01926] of holiness [06944] from the womb [07358] of the morning [04891]: thou hast the dew [02919] of thy youth [03208].

5 The Lord [0136] at thy right hand [03225] shall strike [04272] through kings [04428] in the day [03117] of his wrath [0639].
6 He shall judge [01777] among the heathen [01471], he shall fill [04390] the places with the dead bodies [01472]; he shall wound [04272] the heads [07218] over many [07227] countries [0776].
7 He shall drink [08354] of the brook [05158] in the way [01870]: therefore shall he lift up [07311] the head [07218].
1 Why do the heathen [01471] rage [07283], and the people [03816] imagine [01897] a vain thing [07385]?
2 The kings [04428] of the earth [0776] set [03320] themselves, and the rulers [07336] take counsel [03245] together [03162], against the LORD [03068], and against his anointed [04899], saying,
3 Let us break [05423] their bands [04147] asunder [05423], and cast away [07993] their cords [05688] from us.
4 He that sitteth [03427] in the heavens [08064] shall laugh [07832]: the Lord [0136] shall have them in derision [03932].
5 Then shall he speak [01696] unto them in his wrath [0639], and vex [0926] them in his sore displeasure [02740].
6 Yet have I set [05258] my king [04428] upon my holy [06944] hill [02022] of Zion [06726].

8 Ask [07592] of me, and I shall give [05414] thee the heathen [01471] for thine inheritance [05159], and the uttermost parts [0657] of the earth [0776] for thy possession [0272].
9 Thou shalt break [07489] them with a rod [07626] of iron [01270]; thou shalt dash them in pieces [05310] like a potter's [03335] vessel [03627].
10 Be wise [07919] now therefore, O ye kings [04428]: be instructed [03256], ye judges [08199] of the earth [0776].
11 Serve [05647] the LORD [03068] with fear [03374], and rejoice [01523] with trembling [07461].
12 Kiss [05401] the Son [01248], lest he be angry [0599], and ye perish [06] from the way [01870], when his wrath [0639] is kindled [01197] but a little [04592]. Blessed [0835] are all they that put their trust [02620] in him.
11 And God [0430] said [0559] unto him, I am God [0410] Almighty [07706]: be fruitful [06509] and multiply [07235]; a nation [01471] and a company [06951] of nations [01471] shall be of thee, and kings [04428] shall come [03318] out of thy loins [02504];
6 And I will make [06509] thee exceeding [03966] [03966] fruitful [06509], and I will make [05414] nations [01471] of thee, and kings [04428] shall come out [03318] of thee.

23 They shall not labour [03021] in vain [07385], nor bring forth [03205] for trouble [0928]; for they are the seed [02233] of the blessed [01288] of the LORD [03068], and their offspring [06631] with them.
4 And they shall spring up [06779] as among [0996] the grass [02682], as willows [06155] by the water [04325] courses [02988].
10 For the land [0776], whither thou goest in [0935] to possess [03423] it, is not as the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from whence ye came out [03318], where thou sowedst [02232] thy seed [02233], and wateredst [08248] it with thy foot [07272], as a garden [01588] of herbs [03419]:
7 For the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] bringeth [0935] thee into a good [02896] land [0776], a land [0776] of brooks [05158] of water [04325], of fountains [05869] and depths [08415] that spring out [03318] of valleys [01237] and hills [02022];
