| | 1 | For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, "Is not David hiding among us?" Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might. | |
| | 2 | Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth. | |
| | 3 | Strangers are attacking me; ruthless men seek my life--men without regard for God. Selah | |
| | 4 | Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. | |
| | 5 | Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them. | |
| | 6 | I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, O LORD, for it is good. | |
| | 7 | For he has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes. | |
