Trusting God in times of trouble

(For the music leader. Use with stringed instruments. A special psalm that David wrote when the people of Ziph went to Saul and said, “David is hiding here with us.”)

1. Save me, God, by your powerand prove that I am right.

2. Listen to my prayerand hear what I say.

3. Cruel strangers have attackedand want me dead.Not one of them caresabout you.

4. You will help me, Lord God,and keep me from falling;

5. you will punish my enemiesfor their evil deeds.Be my faithful friendand destroy them.

6. I will bring a giftand offer a sacrificeto you, Lord.I will praise your namebecause you are good.

7. You have rescued mefrom all my troubles,and my own eyes have seenmy enemies fall.
