Remember Your Servant

28Please forgive your servant’s transgression, for Yahweh will surely establish a lasting royal house for my lord, because my lord fights Yahweh’s battles, and evil will not be found in you all your days.

29Though a man has risen to pursue you and take your life, my lord’s life will be bound securely in the bundle of the living with Yahweh your God. But he will sling your enemies’ lives away from the pouch of a sling.

30And when Yahweh has done for my lord all the good he promised you and has appointed you ruler over Israel,

31you will have no cause for remorse or a troubled conscience, my lord, over shedding blood without cause or avenging yourself. When Yahweh has dealt well with my lord, remember your servant.”
