    To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
    1  Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.* chief…: or, overseer† Maschil: or, of instruction
    2  Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
    3  For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
     
    4  Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
    5  He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.‡ mine…: Heb. those that observe me
    6  I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
    7  For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
