57:4 I am surrounded by lions;
I lie down 1 among those who want to devour me; 2
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are a sharp sword. 3
For the music director; according to the al-tashcheth style; 5 a prayer 6 of David, written when he fled from Saul into the cave. 7
57:1 Have mercy on me, O God! Have mercy on me!
For in you I have taken shelter. 8
In the shadow of your wings 9 I take shelter
until trouble passes.

Now, send some men 13 and bring him to me. For he is as good as dead!” 14
20:32 Jonathan responded to his father Saul, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?” 20:33 Then Saul threw his spear at Jonathan 15 in order to strike him down. So Jonathan was convinced 16 that his father had decided to kill David.
10:16 “I 20 am sending you out like sheep surrounded by wolves, 21 so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
