deliver me; rescue me from the hands of foreigners whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful.

save me. Set me free from outsiders who attack me. They tell all kinds of lies with their mouths. Even when they make a promise by raising their right hands, they don’t mean it.

Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

Save me! Rescue me from the power of my enemies. Their mouths are full of lies; they swear to tell the truth, but they lie instead.

Rescue me and save me from the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth speaks deceit And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth speaks lying words, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood—

Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of aliens, Whose mouth speaketh deceit, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand[ is] a right hand of falsehood:

Grab me and rescue me from the power of foreigners, who speak lies, and make false promises.

Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

He feeds on ashes. His deceived mind has led him astray, and he cannot rescue himself, or say,“ Isn’t there a lie in my right hand?”

When the Ammonites realized they had become repulsive to David, they hired twenty thousand foot soldiers from the Arameans of Beth-rehob and Zobah, one thousand men from the king of Maacah, and twelve thousand men from Tob.David heard about it and sent Joab and all the elite troops.The Ammonites marched out and lined up in battle formation at the entrance to the city gate while the Arameans of Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were in the field by themselves.When Joab saw that there was a battle line in front of him and another behind him, he chose some of Israel’s finest young men and lined up in formation to engage the Arameans.He placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai. They lined up in formation to engage the Ammonites.“ If the Arameans are too strong for me,” Joab said,“ then you will be my help. However, if the Ammonites are too strong for you, I’ll come to help you.Be strong! Let’s prove ourselves strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD’s will be done.”Joab and his troops advanced to fight against the Arameans, and they fled before him.When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before Abishai and entered the city. So Joab withdrew from the attack against the Ammonites and went to Jerusalem.When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they regrouped.Hadadezer sent messengers to bring the Arameans who were beyond the Euphrates River, and they came to Helam with Shobach, commander of Hadadezer’s army, leading them.When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, and went to Helam. Then the Arameans lined up to engage David in battle and fought against him.But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven hundred of their charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also struck down Shobach commander of their army, who died there.When all the kings who were Hadadezer’s subjects saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their subjects. After this, the Arameans were afraid to ever help the Ammonites again.

Reach down from on high; rescue me from deep water, and set me free from the grasp of foreignerswhose mouths speak lies, whose right hands are deceptive.

Ahithophel said to Absalom,“ Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will set out in pursuit of David tonight.I will attack him while he is weary and discouraged, throw him into a panic, and all the people with him will scatter. I will strike down only the kingand bring all the people back to you. When everyone returns except the man you’re looking for, all the people will be at peace.”This proposal seemed right to Absalom and all the elders of Israel.Then Absalom said,“ Summon Hushai the Archite also. Let’s hear what he has to say as well.”So Hushai came to Absalom, and Absalom told him,“ Ahithophel offered this proposal. Should we carry out his proposal? If not, what do you say?”Hushai replied to Absalom,“ The advice Ahithophel has given this time is not good.”Hushai continued,“ You know your father and his men. They are warriors and are desperate like a wild bear robbed of her cubs. Your father is an experienced soldier who won’t spend the night with the people.He’s probably already hiding in one of the caves or some other place. If some of our troops fall first, someone is sure to hear and say,‘ There’s been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.’Then, even a brave man with the heart of a lion will lose heart because all Israel knows that your father and the valiant men with him are warriors.Instead, I advise that all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba— as numerous as the sand by the sea— be gathered to you and that you personally go into battle.Then we will attack David wherever we find him, and we will descend on him like dew on the ground. Not even one will be left— neither he nor any of the men with him.If he retreats to some city, all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will drag its stones into the valley until not even a pebble can be found there.”Since the LORD had decreed that Ahithophel’s good advice be undermined in order to bring about Absalom’s ruin, Absalom and all the men of Israel said,“ The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than Ahithophel’s advice.”

When King David got to Bahurim, a man belonging to the family of the house of Saul was just coming out. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and he was yelling curses as he approached.He threw stones at David and at all the royal servants, the people and the warriors on David’s right and left.Shimei said as he cursed,“ Get out, get out, you man of bloodshed, you wicked man!The LORD has paid you back for all the blood of the house of Saul in whose place you became king, and the LORD has handed the kingdom over to your son Absalom. Look, you are in trouble because you’re a man of bloodshed!”Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king,“ Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and remove his head!”The king replied,“ Sons of Zeruiah, do we agree on anything? He curses me this way because the LORD told him,‘ Curse David!’ Therefore, who can say,‘ Why did you do that?’”Then David said to Abishai and all his servants,“ Look, my own son, my own flesh and blood, intends to take my life— how much more now this Benjaminite! Leave him alone and let him curse me; the LORD has told him to.Perhaps the LORD will see my affliction and restore goodness to me instead of Shimei’s curses today.”So David and his men proceeded along the road as Shimei was going along the ridge of the hill opposite him. As Shimei went, he cursed David, threw stones at him, and kicked up dust.Finally, the king and all the people with him arrived exhausted, so they rested there.

They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts.
