| 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! |
