1For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Davidic Maskil. When the Ziphites went and said to Saul, "Is David not hiding among us?" God, save me by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might! | 1For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a well-written song by David. It was written when the Ziphites came and informed Saul: "David is hiding with us." O God, deliver me by your name! Vindicate me by your power! |
2God, hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth. | 2O God, listen to my prayer! Pay attention to what I say! |
3For strangers rise up against me, and violent men seek my life. They have no regard for God. Selah | 3For foreigners attack me; ruthless men, who do not respect God, seek my life. (Selah) |
4God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my life. | 4Look, God is my deliverer! The Lord is among those who support me. |
5He will repay my adversaries for their evil. Because of Your faithfulness, annihilate them. | 5May those who wait to ambush me be repaid for their evil! As a demonstration of your faithfulness, destroy them! |
6I will sacrifice a freewill offering to You. I will praise Your name, Yahweh, because it is good. | 6With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you! I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, for it is good! |
7For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked down on my enemies. | 7Surely he rescues me from all trouble, and I triumph over my enemies. |
