⁷Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman who has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” His servants said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who has a familiar spirit at Endor.”
⁸Saul disguised himself and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. Then he said, “Please consult for me by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomever I shall name to you.”
⁹The woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who have familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?”
¹⁰Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, “As the LORD lives, no punishment will happen to you for this thing.”
¹¹Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up to you?” He said, “Bring Samuel up for me.”
¹²When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!”
¹³The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid! What do you see?” The woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.”
¹⁴He said to her, “What does he look like?” She said, “An old man comes up. He is covered with a robe.” Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and showed respect.

¹A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.
²For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
³They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
⁴“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
⁵For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.
⁶The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
⁷Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
⁸Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
⁹Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
¹⁰who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
¹¹Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
¹²who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”
¹³My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.
¹⁴As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
¹⁵so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
¹⁶Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, LORD.
¹⁷Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
¹⁸that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
