1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

2 Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life—men with no regard for God. Selah

4 Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

5 He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

6 Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

7 For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
