Good News Translation GNT
Revised Standard Version RSV
1 Save me by your power, O God; set me free by your might!
1
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, "David is in hiding among us." Save me, O God, by thy name, and vindicate me by thy might.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; listen to my words!
2
Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 Proud people are coming to attack me; cruel people are trying to kill me - those who do not care about God.
3
For insolent men have risen against me, ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before them. [Selah]
4 But God is my helper. The Lord is my defender.
4
Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.
5 May God use their own evil to punish my enemies. He will destroy them because he is faithful.
5
He will requite my enemies with evil; in thy faithfulness put an end to them.
6 I will gladly offer you a sacrifice, O Lord; I will give you thanks because you are good.
6
With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to thee; I will give thanks to thy name, O LORD, for it is good.
7 You have rescued me from all my troubles, and I have seen my enemies defeated.
7
For thou hast delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
