1. 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? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2. Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3. For strangers have risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4. Behold, God is my helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
