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.
1 Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.
1Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.
2O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,
2Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
2Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.
3For men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah.)
3For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. [Selah
4Lo, God <FI>is<Fi> a helper to me, The Lord <FI>is<Fi> with those supporting my soul,
4See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul.
4Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.
5Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.
5Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.
5He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.
6With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for <FI>it is<Fi> good,
6Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to your name, O Lord, for it is good.
6With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.
