10Even to him who gives salvation to kings: Who redeems his servant David from the hurtful sword.

11Deliver me, and rescue me from the hand of strange children, Whose mouth has spoken vanity, And their right hand is a right hand of iniquity;

— Psalms 143:12 —

13Their garners are full, And bursting with one kind of store after another; Their sheep are prolific, Multiplying in their streets.

14Their oxen are fat: There is no falling down of a hedge, nor going out, Nor cry in their folds.
