A Prayer for Deliverance

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went to Saul and said, β€œIs not David in hiding among us?”

1SAVE me, O God, by Your name;
vindicate me by Your strength.

2 Hear my prayer, O God;
listen to the words of my mouth. 3 For strangers rise up against me;
violent men seek my lifeβ€” men who have no regard for God.  Selah   4 But God is my helper;
the Lord is the sustainer of my life.   5 He will repay my enemies for their evil.
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 every trouble,
and my eyes have looked in triumph on my enemies.
