1To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, "Is not David hiding among us?" O God, save me, by your name, and vindicate me by your might.
2O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before themselves. Selah.
4Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.
5He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them.
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 in triumph on my enemies.
