1To the Chief Musician: with Stringed Instruments. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When the Ziphites came and said unto Saul, Is not, David, hiding himself, with us? 2O God! Hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth; 3For, aliens, have risen up against me, And, men of violence, have sought my life, They have not set God before them. *[*Selah.*]* 4 Lo! God, is bringing me help, My Lord, is with the upholders of my life; 5Let him turn back the mischief upon mine adversaries, In thy faithfulness, destroy them! 6With a freewill-offering, will I sacrifice unto thee, I will praise thy Name, O Yahweh, for it is good; 7For, out of all distress, hath he rescued me,—And, upon my foes, hath, mine own eye, looked.
