The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
King James Version KJV
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 thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2 God, hear my prayer; listen to the words from my mouth.
2
Hear my prayer, O God; give ear 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
For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4 But God is helping me; Adonai is my support.
4
Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5 May he repay the evil to those who are lying in wait for me. In your faithfulness, destroy them!
5
He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
6 Then I will generously sacrifice to you; I will praise your name, ADONAI, because it is good,
6
I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
7 because he rescued me from all trouble, and my eyes look with triumph at my enemies.
7
For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
