| 1To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength. | 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! |
| 2Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. | 2God, hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth. |
| 3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah. | 3For strangers rise up against me, and violent men seek my life. They have no regard for God. Selah |
| 4Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. | 4God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my life. |
| 5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth. | 5He will repay my adversaries for their evil. Because of Your faithfulness, annihilate them. |
| 6I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good. | 6I will sacrifice a freewill offering to You. I will praise Your name, Yahweh, because it is good. |
| 7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies. | 7For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked down on my enemies. |
