¹ {To the Chanter, in Neginoth, an instruction of David when the Ziphites came, and said unto Saul: David is hid among us} Save me, O God, for thy name's sake, and avenge me in thy strength. ² Hear my prayer, O God, and hearken unto the words of my mouth ³ For strangers are risen up against me; and tyrants, which have not God before their eyes, seek after my soul. Selah.

⁴ But lo, God is my helper: it is he that upholdeth my soul. ⁵ He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: destroy thou them in thy truth!

⁶ An offering of a free heart will I give thee, and praise thy name, O LORD, because it is so comfortable. ⁷ For thou hast delivered me out of all my trouble, so that mine eye seeth his desire upon mine enemies.

¹ {To the Chanter, in Neginoth, an instruction of David} Hear my prayer, O God, and hide not thyself from my petition.
