The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
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
Arrogant foes are attacking me; ruthless people are trying to kill me— people without regard for God.
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, LORD, for it is good.
7 because he rescued me from all trouble, and my eyes look with triumph at my enemies.
7
You have delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
