¹ [For the choirmaster On stringed instruments Poem Of David When the Ziphites went to Saul and said,'Is not David hiding with us?'] God, save me by your name, in your power vindicate me.

² God, hear my prayer, listen to the words I speak.

³ Arrogant men are attacking me, bullies hounding me to death, no room in their thoughts for God.Pause

⁴ But now God is coming to my help, the Lord, among those who sustain me.

⁵ May their wickedness recoil on those who lie in wait for me. Yahweh, in your constancy destroy them.

⁶ How gladly will I offer you sacrifice, and praise your name, for it is good,

⁷ for it has rescued me from all my troubles, and my eye has feasted on my enemies.
