1For 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?' Save me, O God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your power.

2Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.

3For strangers have risen against me And violent men have sought my life; They have not set God before them. Selah.

4Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

5He will recompense the evil to my foes; Destroy them in Your faithfulness.

6Willingly I will sacrifice to You; I will give thanks to Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

7For He has delivered me from all trouble, And my eye has looked [with satisfaction] upon my enemies.
