1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us? O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

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

O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Behold, God is my helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.

5 He shall reward evil to my enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.

6 I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.

I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath seen its desire upon my enemies.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
