Some people from Ziph went to Saul at Gibeah and said, "David is hiding out in our territory at Horesh on Mount Hachilah, in the southern part of the Judean wilderness.

We know, Your Majesty, how much you want to capture him; so come to our territory, and we will make sure that you catch him."

Some men from Ziph came to Saul at Gibeah and told him that David was hiding on Mount Hachilah at the edge of the Judean wilderness.

Don't believe your neighbor or trust your friend. Be careful what you say even to your husband or wife.

In these times sons treat their fathers like fools, daughters oppose their mothers, and young women quarrel with their mothers-in-law; your enemies are the members of your own family.

"People will hand over their own brothers to be put to death, and fathers will do the same to their children; children will turn against their parents and have them put to death.

May the LORD answer you when you are in trouble! May the God of Jacob protect you!

You are praised by people everywhere, and your fame extends over all the earth. You rule with justice;

Help us, O God, and save us; rescue us and forgive our sins for the sake of your own honor.

God said, "I am who I am. You must tell them: 'The one who is called I AM has sent me to you.'

Tell the Israelites that I, the LORD, the God of their ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, have sent you to them. This is my name forever; this is what all future generations are to call me.

Pay attention to him and obey him. Do not rebel against him, for I have sent him, and he will not pardon such rebellion.

The LORD came down in a cloud, stood with him there, and pronounced his holy name, the LORD.

The LORD then passed in front of him and called out, "I, the LORD, am a God who is full of compassion and pity, who is not easily angered and who shows great love and faithfulness.

The LORD is like a strong tower, where the righteous can go and be safe.

The LORD's power and glory can be seen in the distance. Fire and smoke show his anger. He speaks, and his words burn like fire.

She will have a son, and you will name him Jesus---because he will save his people from their sins."

"A virgin will become pregnant and have a son, and he will be called Immanuel" (which means, "God is with us").

Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us."

Declare me innocent, O LORD, because I do what is right and trust you completely.

O God, declare me innocent, and defend my cause against the ungodly; deliver me from lying and evil people!

You are my protector; why have you abandoned me? Why must I go on suffering from the cruelty of my enemies?

Mighty king, you love what is right; you have established justice in Israel; you have brought righteousness and fairness.

The LORD is their powerful defender, and he will argue their case against you.

But the one who will rescue them is strong---his name is the LORD Almighty. He himself will take up their cause and will bring peace to the earth, but trouble to the people of Babylonia."
