2 Samuel 17:1

Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose 12,000 men, and I will set out in pursuit of David tonight.

But You, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the One who lifts up my head.

I will both lie down and sleep in peace,
for You alone, Lord, make me live in safety.

For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me;
they speak against me with lying tongues.

because their feet run toward trouble
and they hurry to commit murder.

For they can’t sleep
unless they have done what is evil;
they are robbed of sleep
unless they make someone stumble.

Their feet run after evil,
and they rush to shed innocent blood.
Their thoughts are sinful thoughts;
ruin and wretchedness are in their paths.

Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:

because their feet run toward trouble
and they hurry to commit murder.

For they can’t sleep
unless they have done what is evil;
they are robbed of sleep
unless they make someone stumble.

Their feet run after evil,
and they rush to shed innocent blood.
Their thoughts are sinful thoughts;
ruin and wretchedness are in their paths.

But You, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the One who lifts up my head.

I will both lie down and sleep in peace,
for You alone, Lord, make me live in safety.

For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me;
they speak against me with lying tongues.

Remember, I’ll wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”

You pushed me hard to make me fall,
but the Lord helped me.
