'And, behold, as your life was much set by this day in my sight, so may my life be much set by in the sight of the LORD, and may he deliver me out of all tribulation' — David asks for reciprocal divine protection ('vᵉyaddelᵉṭî YHWH mikkol-tsar'), grounding his future safety in his present faithfulness. The principle of reciprocity between human righteousness and divine blessing stands as the ultimate vindication of his choice.
