The Lord Upholds My Life
To the choirmaster: with astringed instruments. A Maskil of David, bwhen the Ziphites went and told Saul, “Is not David hiding among us?”
O God, save me by your cname,
and vindicate me by your might.
2 O God, ahear my prayer;
give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 aFor bstrangers have risen against me;
ruthless men cseek my life;
they do not set God before themselves. Selah
4 Behold, aGod is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life.
5 He will return the evil to my enemies;
in your afaithfulness bput an end to them.
6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;
I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, afor it is good.
7 For he has delivered me from every trouble,
and my eye has alooked in triumph on my enemies.
