| 1To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Contemplation of David when the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding with us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your strength. | 1For 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. |
| 2Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth. | 2Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth. |
| 3For strangers have risen up against me, And oppressors have sought after my life; They have not set God before them. Selah | 3Arrogant foes are attacking me; ruthless people are trying to kill me-- people without regard for God. |
| 4Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life. | 4Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. |
| 5He will repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in Your truth. | 5Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them. |
| 6I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good. | 6I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, LORD, for it is good. |
| 7For He has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies. | 7You have delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes. |
