1To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, "David is in hiding among us." 2Save me, O God, by thy name, and vindicate me by thy might. 3Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. 4For insolent men have risen against me, ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before them. [Selah] 5Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life. 6He will requite my enemies with evil; in thy faithfulness put an end to them. 7With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to thee; I will give thanks to thy name, O LORD, for it is good. [ (Psalms 54:8) For thou hast delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies. ]
