1 [To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us?] O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

2 O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. Selah.

4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.

5 He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen {its desire} upon mine enemies.

1 神啊！ 求你因你的名拯救我， 求你以你的大能为我伸冤。

2 神啊！ 求你垂听我的祷告， 留心听我口中的言语。

3 因为傲慢的人（"傲慢的人"有古抄本作"外族人"）起来攻击我， 强横的人寻索我的性命； 他们不把 神放在眼里。（细拉）

4 看哪！ 神是我的帮助； 主是扶持我性命的。

5 愿灾祸报应在我仇敌的身上； 愿你因你的信实消灭他们。

6 我要甘心情愿献祭给你； 耶和华啊！ 我必称赞你的名， 因你的名是美好的。

7 他救我脱离了一切患难； 我亲眼看见了我的仇敌灭亡。
