Prayer for Defense against Enemies.

For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A ^[a]Maskil of David, ^[b]when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Is not David hiding himself among us?"

¹ Save me, O God, by ^(a)Your name,
And ^[c]vindicate me by ^(b)Your power.
² ^(c)Hear my prayer, O God;
^(d)Give ear to the words of my mouth.
³ For strangers have ^(e)risen against me
And ^(f)violent men have ^(g)sought my ^[d]life;
They have ^(h)not set God before them. ^[e]Selah.

⁴ Behold, ⁽ⁱ⁾God is my helper;
The Lord is ^[f]the ^(j)sustainer of my soul.
⁵ ^[g]He will ^(k)recompense the evil to ^[h]my foes;
^[i]^(l)Destroy them ^(m)in Your ^[j]faithfulness.

⁶ ^[k]⁽ⁿ⁾Willingly I will sacrifice to You;
I will give ^(o)thanks to Your name, O Lord, for it is good.
⁷ For ^[l]He has ^(p)delivered me from all ^[m]trouble,
And my eye has ^(q)looked with satisfaction upon my enemies.
