Prayer for Defense against Enemies.
For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding himself among us?”
Save me, O God, by aYour name,
And vindicate me by bYour power.
2 aHear my prayer, O God;
bGive ear to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers have arisen against me
And bviolent men have csought my life;
They have dnot set God before them. Selah.
4 Behold, aGod is my helper;
The Lord is the bsustainer of my soul.
5 He will arecompense the evil to my foes;
bDestroy them cin Your faithfulness.
6 aWillingly I will sacrifice to You;
I will give bthanks to Your name, O Lord, for it is good.
7 For He has adelivered me from all trouble,
And my eye has blooked with satisfaction upon my enemies.
