And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of Jehovah; for his mercies are great; and let me not fall into the hand of man.

And David said to Gad, This is a hard decision for me to make: let us come into the hands of the Lord, for great are his mercies: let me not come into the hands of men.

Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Γαδ, Στενα μοι πανταχοθεν σφοδρα· ας πεσω λοιπον εις την χειρα του Κυριου, διοτι ειναι πολλοι οι οικτιρμοι αυτου· εις χειρα δε ανθρωπου ας μη πεσω.
