2 Samuel 17:1

Then Ahithophel said unto Absalom, "Let me choose out, I pray thee, twelve thousand men. And I will up and follow after David by night.

But thou, O LORD, art my defender; thou art my worship, and the lifter up of my head.

I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest; for it is thou, LORD, only that makest me dwell in safety.

for the mouth of the ungodly, yea and the mouth of the deceitful is opened upon me, and speak against me with false tongues.

For their feet run to evil, and are hasty to shed blood.

For they cannot sleep, except they have first done some mischief: neither take they any rest, except they have first done some harm.

Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood. Their counsels are wicked counsels; harm and destruction are in their ways.

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

For their feet run to evil, and are hasty to shed blood.

For they cannot sleep, except they have first done some mischief: neither take they any rest, except they have first done some harm.

Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood. Their counsels are wicked counsels; harm and destruction are in their ways.

But thou, O LORD, art my defender; thou art my worship, and the lifter up of my head.

I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest; for it is thou, LORD, only that makest me dwell in safety.

for the mouth of the ungodly, yea and the mouth of the deceitful is opened upon me, and speak against me with false tongues.

And see, I will tarry in the fields of the wilderness until there come some word from you to be told me."

They thrust at me, that I might fall; but the LORD was my help.
