| 1 | For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a well-written song by David. It was written when the Ziphites came and informed Saul: |David is hiding with us.| O God, deliver me by your name! Vindicate me by your 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 | O God, listen to my prayer! Pay attention to what I say! | 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 foreigners attack me; ruthless men, who do not respect God, seek my life. (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 | Look, God is my deliverer! The Lord is among those who support me. | 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 | May those who wait to ambush me be repaid for their evil! As a demonstration of 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 to 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 | Surely he rescues me from all trouble, and I triumph over 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. | |
