1 Save me, O God, by thy name,

And judge me in thy might.

2 Hear my prayer, O God;

Give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers are risen up against me,

And violent men have sought after my soul:

They have not set God before them. [Selah

4 Behold, God is my helper:

The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

5 He will requite the evil unto mine enemies:

Destroy thou them in thy truth.

6 With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee:

I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble;

And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies.

1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, `Is not David hiding himself with us?` O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.

2 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

3 For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.

4 Lo, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,

5 Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.

6 With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for [it is] good,

7 For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!
