¹For the music leader. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David. He wrote it when the Ziphites went to Saul and said, "Isn't David hiding among us?"
God, save me by your name.
Show that I am in the right by your power! ²God, hear my prayer.
Listen to the words of my mouth. ³For strangers rise up against me.
Cruel men want to kill me.
They do not care about God. Selah ⁴God is surely my helper.
The Lord is the one who keeps my soul going. ⁵He will pay my enemies back with evil.
Because you are faithful, destroy them. ⁶I will gladly bring a sacrifice to you.
LORD, I will praise your name, for it is good. ⁷For he has rescued me from every trouble.
My eyes have looked down on my enemies in victory.
