Prayer for Defense against Enemies.

For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding himself among us?”

1 Save me, O God, by Your name,
         And vindicate me by Your power.
2 Hear my prayer, O God;
         Give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers have risen against me
         And violent men have sought my life;
         They have not set God before them.
Selah.

4 Behold, God is my helper;
         The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
5 He will recompense the evil to my foes;
         Destroy them in Your faithfulness.
6 Willingly I will sacrifice to You;
         I will give thanks to Your name, O LORD, for it is good.
7 For He has delivered me from all trouble,
         And my eye has looked with satisfaction upon my enemies.
