New Living Translation NLT
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Come with great power, O God, and rescue me! Defend me with 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 Listen to my prayer, O God. Pay attention to my plea.
2
O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,
3 For strangers are attacking me; violent people are trying to kill me. They care nothing for God. Interlude
3
For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.
4 But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive!
4
Lo, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,
5 May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them. Do as you promised and put an end to them.
5
Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.
6 I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you; I will praise your name, O 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 For you have rescued me from my troubles and helped me to triumph over my enemies.
7
For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!
