New King James Version NKJV
New Living Translation NLT
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.
1
Come with great power, O God, and rescue me! Defend me with your might.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.
2
Listen to my prayer, O God. Pay attention to my plea.
3 For strangers have risen up against me, And oppressors have sought after my life; They have not set God before them. Selah
3
For strangers are attacking me; violent people are trying to kill me. They care nothing for God. Interlude
4 Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life.
4
But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive!
5 He will repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in Your truth.
5
May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them. Do as you promised and put an end to them.
6 I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good.
6
I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you; I will praise your name, O LORD, for it is good.
7 For He has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.
7
For you have rescued me from my troubles and helped me to triumph over my enemies.
