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 DRA O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth. BSB BSB: Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
3 DRA For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes. BSB BSB: For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life—men with no regard for God. Selah
4 DRA For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul. BSB BSB: Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
5 DRA Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth. BSB BSB: He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.
6 DRA I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good: BSB BSB: Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.
7 DRA For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies. BSB BSB: For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
