For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding himself among us?”
1Save me, God, by Your name.
Vindicate me in Your might.
2Hear my prayer, God.
Listen to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers have risen up against me.
Violent men have sought after my soul.
They haven’t set God before them. Selah.
4Behold, God is my helper.
The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
5He will repay the evil to my enemies.
Destroy them in Your truth.
6With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to You.
I will give thanks to Your name, Lord, for it is good.
7For He has delivered me out of all trouble.
My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
1In finem, in carminibus. Intellectus David, 2cum venissent Ziphæi, et dixissent ad Saul: Nonne David absconditus est apud nos?
3Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtute tua judica me. 4Deus, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe verba oris mei. 5Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quæsierunt animam meam, et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum. 6Ecce enim Deus adjuvat me, et Dominus susceptor est animæ meæ. 7Averte mala inimicis meis; et in veritate tua disperde illos. 8Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi, et confitebor nomini tuo, Domine, quoniam bonum est. 9Quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuisti me, et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.
