| 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! |
