The Lord Upholds My Life

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil[fn] of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, “Is not David hiding among us?”

 

O God, save me by your name,

and vindicate me by your might.

O God, hear my prayer;

give ear to the words of my mouth.

   

For strangers[fn] have risen against me;

ruthless men seek my life;

they do not set God before themselves. Selah

   

Behold, God is my helper;

the Lord is the upholder of my life.

He will return the evil to my enemies;

in your faithfulness put an end to them.

   

With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;

I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, for it is good.

For he has delivered me from every trouble,

and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
