To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, 'Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me. --
|
2 |
O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth, --
|
3 |
For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah. --
|
4 |
Lo, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul, --
|
5 |
Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off. --
|
6 |
With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for [it is] good, --
|
7 |
For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked! --
