13 May the Lord be judge between me and you, and may the Lord give me my rights against you, but my hand will never be lifted up against you.
14 There is an old saying, From the evil-doer comes evil: but my hand will never be lifted up against you.
15 After whom has the king of Israel come out? for whom are you searching? for a dead dog, an insect.
16 So let the Lord be judge, and give a decision between me and you, and see and give support to my cause, and keep me from falling into your hands.
17 Now when David had said these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this your voice, David, my son? And Saul was overcome with weeping.
18 And he said to David, You are right and I am wrong: for you have given me back good, but I have given you evil.
19 And you have made clear to me how good you have been to me today: because, when the Lord gave me up into your hands, you did not put me to death.
