| 1 | To the Chief Musician; with stringed instruments. A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem, of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, “David is hiding among us.” Save me, O God, by Your name; And vindicate me by Your [wondrous] power. | O God, save me by your name, and vindicate me by your might. | For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, “Is not David hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might. | |
| 2 | Hear my prayer, O God; Listen to the words of my mouth. | O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth. | Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth. | |
| 3 | For strangers have risen against me And violent men have sought my life; They have not set God before them. Selah. | For strangers have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before themselves. Selah | Arrogant foes are attacking me; ruthless people are trying to kill me— people without regard for God. | |
| 4 | Behold, God is my helper and ally; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul [my upholder]. | Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life. | Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. | |
| 5 | He will pay back the evil to my enemies; In Your faithfulness destroy them. | He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them. | Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them. | |
| 6 | With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You; I will give thanks and praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good. | With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, for it is good. | I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, LORD, for it is good. | |
| 7 | For He has rescued me from every trouble, And my eye has looked with satisfaction (triumph) on my enemies. | For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies. | You have delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes. | |
