1 For the choir director: A psalm of David, regarding the time the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “We know where David is hiding.” To be accompanied by stringed instruments.Come with great power, O God, and rescue me!Defend me with your might.
2 Listen to my prayer, O God.Pay attention to my plea.
3 For strangers are attacking me;violent people are trying to kill me.They care nothing for God. Interlude
4 But God is my helper.The Lord keeps me alive!
5 May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them.Do as you promised and put an end to them.
6 I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you;I will praise your name, O Lord,for it is good.
7 For you have rescued me from my troublesand helped me to triumph over my enemies.
