Vindicate Me in Your Might

1For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy might.

2O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.

3For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. Pause.

4For lo! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.

5He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in thy truth.

6I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord; for it is good.

7For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen my desire upon mine enemies.
