{1 Samuel 23:13-29; Psalm 54 ^**}

    ^54:1 Save me, O God, by your name and judge me in your might. ^54:2 Hear my prayer, O God. Listen to the words of my mouth. ^54:3 Because strangers have risen up against me and violent men have sought after my soul. They have not set God before them. Selah.

    ^54:4 Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is of those who uphold my soul. ^54:5 He will reward the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

    ^54:6 I will sacrifice to you with a free-will offering. I will give thanks to your name, O Jehovah, because it is good. ^54:7 Because he has delivered me out of all trouble and my eye has seen it upon my enemies.
