1 Brenton when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy might. BSB BSB: For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!
2 Brenton O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth. BSB BSB: Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
3 Brenton For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. Pause. BSB BSB: For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life—men with no regard for God. Selah
4 Brenton For lo! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul. BSB BSB: Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
5 Brenton He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in thy truth. BSB BSB: He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.
6 Brenton I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord; for it is good. BSB BSB: Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.
7 Brenton For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen my desire upon mine enemies. BSB BSB: For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
