¹To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation. A Psalm of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Does not David hide himself among us? Save me, O God, by Your name, and judge me by Your strength. ²Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. ³For strangers have risen up against me, and cruel men seek after my soul; they have not set God before them. Selah. ⁴Behold, God is my helper; the LORD is with those who uphold my soul. ⁵He shall reward evil to my enemies; cut them off in Your truth. ⁶I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good. ⁷For He has delivered me out of all trouble; and my eye has seen its desire on my enemies.
