Save Me by Your Name For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskila of David (beloved). When the Ziphites (smelters) went to Saul (desired) and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” 1 Save me, O God {Elohim}, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might! 2Hear my prayer, O God {Elohim}; listen to the words of my mouth. 3For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God {Elohim}. 4Surely God {Elohim} is my helper; the Lord {Adonai} is the sustainer of my soul. 5He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them. 6Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD {YHWH}, for it is good. 7For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes. Footnotes: 1 a Maskil is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 32, 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, and 142.
