International Standard Version | NET Bible |
1God, by your name deliver me, and by your power vindicate me. | 1For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a well-written song by David. It was written when the Ziphites came and informed Saul: "David is hiding with us." O God, deliver me by your name! Vindicate me by your power! |
2God, listen to my prayer, and pay attention to the words of my mouth. | 2O God, listen to my prayer! Pay attention to what I say! |
3For the arrogant have arisen against me; oppressors have sought to take my life. They do not keep God in mind! Interlude | 3For foreigners attack me; ruthless men, who do not respect God, seek my life. (Selah) |
4Look, God is my helper; the Lord is with those who are guarding my life. | 4Look, God is my deliverer! The Lord is among those who support me. |
5He will turn the evil upon those who lie in wait for me. Cut them off with your truth. | 5May those who wait to ambush me be repaid for their evil! As a demonstration of your faithfulness, destroy them! |
6With a free will offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, LORD, because it is good, | 6With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you! I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, for it is good! |
7for he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have seen the end of my enemies. | 7Surely he rescues me from all trouble, and I triumph over my enemies. |
