'When Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.' Deliver me from the workers of iniquity: they return at evening, howling like dogs round about the city, belching with their mouth. 'But thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them.' The refrain of the watch: 'O my strength, I will give heed unto thee; for God is my high tower.' 'I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy lovingkindness in the morning: for thou hast been my high tower and a refuge in the day of my distress.'
