1For the music director <05329>, to be accompanied by stringed instruments <05058>; a well-written song <04905> by David <01732>. It was written when the Ziphites <02130> came <0935> and informed <0559> Saul <07586>: “David <01732> is hiding <05641> with <05973> us.” O God <0430>, deliver <03467> me by your name <08034>! Vindicate <01777> me by your power <01369>!
2O God <0430>, listen <08085> to my prayer <08605>! Pay attention <0238> to what <0561> I say <06310>!
3For <03588> foreigners <02114> attack <06965> me; ruthless <06184> men, who do not <03808> respect <07760> God <0430>, seek <01245> my life <05315>. (Selah <05542>)
4Look <02009>, God <0430> is my deliverer <05826>! The Lord <0136> is among those who support <05564> me.
5May those who wait to ambush <08324> me be repaid <07725> for their evil <07451>! As a demonstration of your faithfulness <0571>, destroy <06789> them!
6With a freewill offering <05071> I will sacrifice <02076> to you! I will give thanks <03034> to your name <08034>, O Lord <03068>, for <03588> it is good <02896>!
7Surely <03588> he rescues <05337> me from all <03605> trouble <06869>, and I triumph over <07200> my enemies <0341>.
