Answered Prayer for Deliverance from Adversaries

For the music director, with stringed instruments.

A maskil of David,

when the Ziphites went and said to Saul,

“Is not David hiding himself among us?”

1 O God, by your name save me,

and by your power vindicate me.

2 O God, hear my prayer;

heed the words of my mouth.

3 For foreigners have risen against me,

and ruthless men seek my life.

They have not set God before them.Selah

4 See, God is my helper;

The Lord is with those who sustain my life.

5 He will repaymy enemies for theirevil;

in your faithfulness destroy them.

6 I will freely sacrifice to you;

I will give thanks to your name,

O Yahweh, because it is good.

7 Because he has delivered me from all trouble,

and my eye has looked with satisfaction on my enemies.
