New International Version NIV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might.
1
To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, `Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
2
O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,
3 Arrogant foes are attacking me; ruthless people are trying to kill me— people without regard for God.
3
For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.
4 Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
4
Lo, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,
5 Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them.
5
Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.
6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, LORD, for it is good.
6
With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for [it is] good,
7 You have delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
7
For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!
