1 For the choir director; on stringed instruments; a maskil by David when people from the city of Ziph told Saul that David was hiding among them. O God, save me by your name, and defend me with your might. 2 O God, hear my prayer, and open your ears to the words from my mouth. 3 Strangers have attacked me. Ruthless people seek my life. They do not think about God. Selah 4 God is my helper! The Lord is the provider for my life. 5 My enemies spy on me. Pay them back with evil. Destroy them with your truth! 6 I will make a sacrifice to you along with a freewill offering. I will give thanks to your good name, O LORD. 7 Your name rescues me from every trouble. My eyes will gloat over my enemies. GOD'S WORD® is a copyrighted work of God's Word to the Nations. Quotations are used by permission. Copyright 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
