New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
8 Afterwards David also rose up and went out of the cave and called after Saul, ‘My lord the king!’ When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance. 9 David said to Saul, ‘Why do you listen to the words of those who say, “David seeks to do you harm”? 10 This very day your eyes have seen how the Lord gave you into my hand in the cave; and some urged me to kill you, but I spared[a] you. I said, “I will not raise my hand against my lord; for he is the Lord’s anointed.”
