1 Samuel 24:11-14

11 See, my father, see the corner of your robe in my hand. For by the fact that I cut off the corner of your robe and did not kill you, you may know and see that ^athere is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though ^byou hunt my life to take it. 12 ^cMay the Lord judge between me and you, may the Lord avenge me against you, but my hand shall not be against you. 13 As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes wickedness.’ But my hand shall not be against you. 14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? ^dAfter a dead dog! ^eAfter a flea!

Psalms 7:3-5

3 O Lord my God, ^fif I have done this,
if there is ^gwrong in my hands,
4 if I have repaid ^hmy friend ^{▼▼Hebrew the one at peace with me} with evil
or ^jplundered my enemy without cause,
5 let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it,
and let him ^ktrample my life to the ground
and lay my glory in the dust. Selah

Psalms 35:7

7 For ^lwithout cause ^mthey hid their net for me;
without cause they dug ⁿa pit for my life. ^{▼▼The word pit is transposed from the preceding line; Hebrew For without cause they hid the pit of their net for me; without cause they dug for my life}

Psalms 69:4

4 ^pMore in number than the hairs of my head
are ^qthose who hate me ^rwithout cause;
mighty are those who would destroy me,
^sthose who attack me with lies.
What I did not steal
must I now restore?
