To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
8,6,8,6
^1Save me, O God, by thy great name,
and judge me by thy strength:
^2My prayer hear, O God; give ear
unto my words at length.
^3For they that strangers are to me
do up against me rise;
Oppressors seek my soul, and God
set not before their eyes.
^4The Lord my God my helper is,
lo, therefore I am bold:
He taketh part with ev'ry one
that doth my soul uphold.
^5Unto mine enemies he shall
mischief and ill repay:
O for thy truth's sake cut them off,
and sweep them clean away.
^6I will a sacrifice to thee
give with free willingness;
Thy name, O Lord, because tis good,
with praise I will confess.
^7For he hath me delivered
from all adversities;
And his desire mine eye hath seen
upon mine enemies.
