“Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.”
King James Version (KJV)
27:11 Because of - That I may neither fall into their hands by my folly, nor give them any occasion of triumphing over me.
27:13 The living - David was thus earnestly desirous of this mercy in this life, not because he placed his portion in these things; but because the truth and glory of God, were highly concerned in making good the promise of the kingdom to him.
