1 For the end, among the Hymns of instruction by David,2 when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hidden with us?3 Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me by thy might.4 O God, hear my prayer; Hearken to the words of my mouth.5 For strangers have risen up against me, And mighty men have sought my life: They have not set God before them. Pause.6 For lo! God assists me; And the Lord is the helper of my soul.7 He shall return evil to mine enemies; Utterly destroy them in thy truth.8 I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord; for it is good.9 For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, And mine eye has seen my desire upon mine enemies.
