You have caused my friends to abandon me; you have made me repulsive to them. I am closed in and cannot escape;

Why were a thousand defeated by one, and ten thousand by only two? The LORD, their God, had abandoned them; their mighty God had given them up.

This very day the LORD will put you in my power; I will defeat you and cut off your head. And I will give the bodies of the Philistine soldiers to the birds and animals to eat. Then the whole world will know that Israel has a God,

Today you have shown how good you are to me, because you did not kill me, even though the LORD put me in your power.

Abishai said to David, "God has put your enemy in your power tonight. Now let me plunge his own spear through him and pin him to the ground with just one blow---I won't have to strike twice!"

God has handed me over to evil people.

I will hand the Egyptians over to a tyrant, to a cruel king who will rule them. I, the LORD Almighty, have spoken."

Answer me when I pray, O God, my defender! When I was in trouble, you helped me. Be kind to me now and hear my prayer.

He helped me out of danger; he saved me because he was pleased with me.

God brought you out of trouble, and let you enjoy security; your table was piled high with food.
