than the abundance of many wicked people.

to bring down the afflicted and needy
and to slaughter those whose way is upright.

and seeks to kill him;

Then I passed by and noticed he was gone;
I searched for him, but he could not be found.

Their swords will enter their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.

the Lord will not leave him
in the power of the wicked one
or allow him to be condemned when he is judged.
