God Is My Helper
For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding himself among us?”
O God, save me by aYour name,
And render justice to me by bYour might.
2 aO God, hear my prayer;
bGive ear to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers have arisen against me
And bruthless men have csought my life;
They have dnot set God before them. Selah.
4 Behold, aGod is my helper;
The Lord is among those who bsustain my soul.
5 He will areturn the evil to my foes;
bDestroy them cin Your truth.
6 aWith a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You;
I will give bthanks to Your name, O Yahweh, for it is good.
7 For He has adelivered me from all distress,
And my eye has blooked in triumph upon my enemies.
