For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?”
1Save me, O God, by Your name,and vindicate me by Your might!
2Hear my prayer, O God;listen to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers rise up against me,and ruthless men seek my life—
men with no regard for God.Selah
4Surely God is my helper;the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
5He will reward my enemies with evil.In Your faithfulness, destroy them.
6Freely I will sacrifice to You;I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.
7For He has delivered me from every trouble,and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
