Being falsely accused by Cush one of Saul’s kinsmen, he calleth to God to be his defender, 3 to whom he commendeth his innocence, 9 first showing that his conscience did not accuse him of any evil toward Saul. 10 Next that it touched God’s glory to award sentence against the wicked. 12 And so entering into the consideration of God’s mercies and promise, he waxeth bold, and derideth the vain enterprises of his enemies,  15 threatening that that shall fall on their own neck which they have purposed for others.

[a]Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the [b]words of (A)Cush the son of Benjamin.

O Lord my God, in thee I put my trust: save me from all that persecute me, and deliver me,

Lest [c]he devour my soul like a lion, and tear it in pieces, while there is none to help.
