New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 For the leader. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David, when the Zifim came and told Sha'ul, "David is hiding with us": God, deliver me by your name; in your power, vindicate me.
|
1 Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might.
|
|
2 God, hear my prayer; listen to the words from my mouth.
|
2 Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
|
|
3 For foreigners are rising against me, violent men are seeking my life; they give no thought to God. (Selah)
|
3 Strangers are attacking me; ruthless men seek my life-- men without regard for God. "Selah"
|
|
4 But God is helping me; Adonai is my support.
|
4 Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
|
|
5 May he repay the evil to those who are lying in wait for me. In your faithfulness, destroy them!
|
5 Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them.
|
|
6 Then I will generously sacrifice to you; I will praise your name, ADONAI, because it is good,
|
6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, O LORD, for it is good.
