1Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

1 OGod, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

1To 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.

2Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

2 OGod, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

2O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not setGod before them. Selah.

3For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.
