27 And now this [a]blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it be given unto the young men, that [b]follow my lord.

28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the Lord will make my lord a [c]sure house, because my lord fighteth the battles of the Lord, and none evil hath been found in thee [d]in all thy life.

29 Yet [e]a man hath risen up to persecute thee, and to seek thy soul, but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the [f]bundle of life with the Lord thy God: and the soul of thine enemies shall God cast out, as out of the middle of a sling.
