The Lord Upholds My Life
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, “Is not David hiding among us?”
1
O God, save me by your 1name, and vindicate me by your might.
2
O God, 2hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3
3For 4strangersa have risen against me; ruthless men 5seek my life; they do not set God before themselves. Selah
4
Behold, 6God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.
6
With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, 9for it is good.
7
For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has 10looked in triumph on my enemies.
