我屢流離、爾盡數之、祈以我淚貯於爾囊、非悉錄於爾册乎、

我流離靡定、爾知之矣、澘然出涕、請爾垂念、若藏於罇、若錄於册兮、

我流離失所、皆主所知、將我之眼淚、存貯主之囊中、此非記於主之册乎、

豈其作孽。可以自脫。惟求我主。降以顯罰。

“ Hear my prayer, LORD, and listen to my cry for help; do not be silent at my tears. For I am here with you as an alien, a temporary resident like all my ancestors.

At that time those who feared the LORD spoke to one another. The LORD took notice and listened. So a book of remembrance was written before him for those who feared the LORD and had high regard for his name.

“ Go back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people,‘ This is what the LORD God of your ancestor David says: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Look, I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the LORD’s temple.

But even the hairs of your head have all been counted.

For the Lamb who is at the center of the throne will shepherd them; he will guide them to springs of the waters of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Your eyes saw me when I was formless; all my days were written in your book and planned before a single one of them began.

The LORD will protect your coming and going both now and forever.

These all died in faith, although they had not received the things that were promised. But they saw them from a distance, greeted them, and confessed that they were foreigners and temporary residents on the earth.

Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.Though one goes along weeping, carrying the bag of seed, he will surely come back with shouts of joy, carrying his sheaves.

In all their suffering, he suffered, and the angel of his presence saved them. He redeemed them because of his love and compassion; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of the past.

So David left Gath and took refuge in the cave of Adullam. When David’s brothers and his father’s whole family heard, they went down and joined him there.In addition, every man who was desperate, in debt, or discontented rallied around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him.From there David went to Mizpeh of Moab where he said to the king of Moab,“ Please let my father and mother stay with you until I know what God will do for me.”So he left them in the care of the king of Moab, and they stayed with him the whole time David was in the stronghold.Then the prophet Gad said to David,“ Don’t stay in the stronghold. Leave and return to the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.

My friends scoff at me as I weep before God.

wandering from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another,he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their behalf:

I also saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged according to their works by what was written in the books.

On frequent journeys, I faced dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers at sea, and dangers among false brothers;

The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and on mountains, hiding in caves and holes in the ground.

By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and set out for a place that he was going to receive as an inheritance. He went out, even though he did not know where he was going.

At the LORD’s command, Moses wrote down the starting points for the stages of their journey; these are the stages listed by their starting points:They traveled from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the month. On the day after the Passover the Israelites went out defiantly in the sight of all the Egyptians.Meanwhile, the Egyptians were burying every firstborn male the LORD had struck down among them, for the LORD had executed judgment against their gods.The Israelites traveled from Rameses and camped at Succoth.They traveled from Succoth and camped at Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness.They traveled from Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, which faces Baal-zephon, and they camped before Migdol.They traveled from Pi-hahiroth and crossed through the middle of the sea into the wilderness. They took a three-day journey into the Wilderness of Etham and camped at Marah.They traveled from Marah and came to Elim. There were twelve springs and seventy date palms at Elim, so they camped there.They traveled from Elim and camped by the Red Sea.They traveled from the Red Sea and camped in the Wilderness of Sin.They traveled from the Wilderness of Sin and camped in Dophkah.They traveled from Dophkah and camped at Alush.They traveled from Alush and camped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.They traveled from Rephidim and camped in the Wilderness of Sinai.They traveled from the Wilderness of Sinai and camped at Kibroth-hattaavah.They traveled from Kibroth-hattaavah and camped at Hazeroth.They traveled from Hazeroth and camped at Rithmah.They traveled from Rithmah and camped at Rimmon-perez.They traveled from Rimmon-perez and camped at Libnah.They traveled from Libnah and camped at Rissah.They traveled from Rissah and camped at Kehelathah.They traveled from Kehelathah and camped at Mount Shepher.They traveled from Mount Shepher and camped at Haradah.They traveled from Haradah and camped at Makheloth.They traveled from Makheloth and camped at Tahath.They traveled from Tahath and camped at Terah.They traveled from Terah and camped at Mithkah.They traveled from Mithkah and camped at Hashmonah.They traveled from Hashmonah and camped at Moseroth.They traveled from Moseroth and camped at Bene-jaakan.They traveled from Bene-jaakan and camped at Hor-haggidgad.They traveled from Hor-haggidgad and camped at Jotbathah.They traveled from Jotbathah and camped at Abronah.They traveled from Abronah and camped at Ezion-geber.They traveled from Ezion-geber and camped in the Wilderness of Zin( that is, Kadesh).They traveled from Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor on the edge of the land of Edom.At the LORD’s command, the priest Aaron climbed Mount Hor and died there on the first day of the fifth month in the fortieth year after the Israelites went out of the land of Egypt.Aaron was 123 years old when he died on Mount Hor.At that time the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev in the land of Canaan, heard the Israelites were coming.They traveled from Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah.They traveled from Zalmonah and camped at Punon.They traveled from Punon and camped at Oboth.They traveled from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim on the border of Moab.They traveled from Iyim and camped at Dibon-gad.They traveled from Dibon-gad and camped at Almon-diblathaim.They traveled from Almon-diblathaim and camped in the Abarim range facing Nebo.They traveled from the Abarim range and camped on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.They camped by the Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth to the Acacia Meadow on the plains of Moab.The LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho,“ Tell the Israelites: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,you must drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you, destroy all their stone images and cast images, and demolish all their high places.You are to take possession of the land and settle in it because I have given you the land to possess.You are to receive the land as an inheritance by lot according to your clans. Increase the inheritance for a large clan and decrease it for a small one. Whatever place the lot indicates for someone will be his. You will receive an inheritance according to your ancestral tribes.But if you don’t drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become barbs for your eyes and thorns for your sides; they will harass you in the land where you will live.And what I had planned to do to them, I will do to you.”

So David fled and escaped and went to Samuel at Ramah and told him everything Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel left and stayed at Naioth.

David said to himself,“ One of these days I’ll be swept away by Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape immediately to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me everywhere in Israel, and I’ll escape from him.”
