12Yahweh judge between me and you, and Yahweh avenge me of you; but my hand shall not be on you.
13As says the proverb of the ancients, Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness; but my hand shall not be on you.
14After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom do you pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
15Yahweh therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.
16It came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, Is this your voice, my son David? Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
17He said to David, You are more righteous than I; for you have rendered to me good, whereas I have rendered to you evil.
18You have declared this day how that you have dealt well with me, because when Yahweh had delivered me up into your hand, you didn`t kill me.
