(A psalm of David composed when the Ziphites came to Saul and informed him that David was hiding amongst them)
Save me, O God, by your name
And defend me with your might.
Listen to my prayer, O God;
Lend an ear to my words.
Strangers have risen against me
And violent men seek my life.
No reverence do they have for God.
But God is my deliverer,
Jehovah who sustains my life.
Let evil recoil on my foes;
Destroy them as you have promised.
I will make sacrifice to you
And with it a free-will offering.
I will thank your name, Jehovah,
For the name of Jehovah is good.
You have saved me from all my troubles;
My eyes look down upon my foes
With triumphant satisfaction.
