GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New King James Version NKJV
1 O God, save me by your name, and defend me with your might.
1
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Contemplation of David when the Ziphites went and said to Saul, 'Is David not hiding with us?' Save me, O God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your strength.
2 O God, hear my prayer, and open your ears to the words from my mouth.
2
Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 Strangers have attacked me. Ruthless people seek my life. They do not think about God. Selah
3
For strangers have risen up against me, And oppressors have sought after my life; They have not set God before them. Selah
4 God is my helper! The Lord is the provider for my life.
4
Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life.
5 My enemies spy on me. Pay them back with evil. Destroy them with your truth!
5
He will repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in Your truth.
6 I will make a sacrifice to you along with a freewill offering. I will give thanks to your good name, O LORD.
6
I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good.
7 Your name rescues me from every trouble. My eyes will gloat over my enemies.
7
For He has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.
