You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.

The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’

but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. He will live opposed to all of his brothers.”

He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.

David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.”

For when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom

God raised up an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.

Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

Don’t kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.

Save me, God, for the waters have come up to my neck!

Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.

“I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant,
