| 1 | For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?' O God, save me by Thy name, And right me by Thy might. | 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 | O God, hear my prayer; give ear 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 are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul; 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; The Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul. | 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 requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; Destroy Thou them in Thy truth. | 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 will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy 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 hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath gazed upon mine 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. | |
