1. {For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, "Is not David hiding among us?"} Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might.
2. Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
3. Strangers are attacking me; ruthless men seek my life-- men without regard for God. Selah
4. Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
5. Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them.
6. I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, O LORD, for it is good.
7. For he has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
