Verses 1-7 - For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David.
When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, "Is not David hiding among us?"

1. Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might.

2. Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

3. Strangers are attacking me; ruthless men seek my life-- men without regard for God. Selah

4. Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.

5. Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them.

6. I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, O LORD, for it is good.

7. For he has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
