Prayer for Defense against Enemies. For the music director; on stringed instruments. A [a]Maskil of David, [b]when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is David not keeping himself hidden among us?” 1Save me, God, by Your name, And [c]vindicate me by Your power.
2Hear my prayer, God; Listen to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers have risen against me And violent men have sought my [d]life; They have not set God before them. Selah
4Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is [e]the sustainer of my soul.
5[f]He will pay back the evil to my enemies; [g]Destroy them in Your [h]faithfulness.
6[i]Willingly I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, LORD, for it is good.
7For [j]He has saved me from all [k]trouble, And my eye has looked with satisfaction upon my enemies.
