1 For the music director, on stringed instruments, a contemplative song of David,
2 when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: “Is not David hiding himself among us?”
3 O God, save me by Your Name, vindicate me by Your might.
4 O God, hear my prayer, listen to the words of my mouth.
5 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men seek after my soul. They do not set God before them. Selah
6 Surely God is my helper. My Lord is the supporter of my soul.
7 Let evil return to my foes. Silence them with Your truth!
8 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to You. I will praise Your name, Adonai, for it is good.
9 For He has delivered me from all trouble, and my eye has gazed upon my enemies.
