For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Isn’t David hiding himself among us?"

1 Save me, God, by your name.

Vindicate me in your might.

2 Hear my prayer, God.

Listen to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers have risen up against me.

Violent men have sought after my soul.

They haven’t set God before them. Selah.

4 Behold, God is my helper.

The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

5 He will repay the evil to my enemies.

Destroy them in your truth.

6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you.

I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.

7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble.

My eye has seen triumph over my 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。
