1TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF THE ZIPHIM, AND THEY SAY TO SAUL, “IS DAVID NOT HIDING HIMSELF WITH US?” O God, save me by Your Name, and judge me by Your might.
2O God, hear my prayer, || Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,
3For strangers have risen up against me || And terrible ones have sought my soul, || They have not set God before them. Selah.
4Behold, God [is] a helper to me, || The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,
5Turn back the evil to my enemies, || Cut them off in Your truth.
6I sacrifice to You with a free-will offering, || I thank Your Name, O YHWH, for [it is] good,
7For He delivered me from all adversity, || And my eye has looked on my enemies!
