For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding himself among us?” ¹ Save me, O God, by Your name,
And vindicate me by Your power. ² Hear my prayer, O God;
Give ear to the words of my mouth. ³ For strangers have risen against me
And violent men have sought my life;
They have not set God before them. Selah. ⁴ Behold, God is my helper;
The Lord is the sustainer of my soul. ⁵ He will recompense the evil to my foes;
Destroy them in Your faithfulness. ⁶ Willingly I will sacrifice to You;
I will give thanks to Your name, O LORD, for it is good. ⁷ For He has delivered me from all trouble,
And my eye has looked with satisfaction upon my enemies.
