And David said to Saul: (A)“Why do you listen to the words of men who say, ‘Indeed David seeks your harm’? 10 Look, this day your eyes have seen that the Lord delivered you today into my hand in the cave, and someone urged me to kill you. But my eye spared you, and I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord’s anointed.’ 11 Moreover, my father, see! Yes, see the corner of your robe in my hand! For in that I cut off the corner of your robe, and did not kill you, know and see that there is (B)neither evil nor rebellion in my hand, and I have not sinned against you. Yet you (C)hunt my life to take it. 12 (D)Let the Lord judge between you and me, and let the Lord avenge me on you. But my hand shall not be against you. 13 As the proverb of the ancients says, (E)‘Wickedness proceeds from the wicked.’ But my hand shall not be against you. 14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? (F)A dead dog? (G)A flea? 15 (H)Therefore let the Lord be judge, and judge between you and me, and (I)see and (J)plead my case, and deliver me out of your hand.”

He said to Saul, “Why do you listen(A) when men say, ‘David is bent on harming(B) you’? 10 This day you have seen with your own eyes how the Lord delivered you into my hands in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared(C) you; I said, ‘I will not lay my hand on my lord, because he is the Lord’s anointed.’ 11 See, my father, look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut(D) off the corner of your robe but did not kill you. See that there is nothing in my hand to indicate that I am guilty(E) of wrongdoing(F) or rebellion. I have not wronged(G) you, but you are hunting(H) me down to take my life.(I) 12 May the Lord judge(J) between you and me. And may the Lord avenge(K) the wrongs you have done to me, but my hand will not touch you. 13 As the old saying goes, ‘From evildoers come evil deeds,(L)’ so my hand will not touch you.

14 “Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Who are you pursuing? A dead dog?(M) A flea?(N) 15 May the Lord be our judge(O) and decide(P) between us. May he consider my cause and uphold(Q) it; may he vindicate(R) me by delivering(S) me from your hand.”

Says the Lord.

(B)On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word.
