Furthermore, Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men and set out tonight in pursuit of David.
Their feet run to evil; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful thoughts; ruin and destruction
But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
For they cannot sleep unless they do evil; they are deprived of slumber until they make someone fall.
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me; they speak against me with lying tongues.
For their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed blood.
