1
To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, `Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.
2
O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,
3
For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.
4
Lo, God `is' a helper to me, The Lord `is' with those supporting my soul,
5
Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.
6
With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for `it is' good,
7
For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!
