2 DRA The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies. BSB BSB: The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to give him over to the will of his foes.

5 DRA My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish? BSB BSB: My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”
