NEW JERUSALEMKING JAMES BIBLE
1 [For the choirmaster On stringed instruments Poem Of David When the Ziphites went to Saul andsaid,'Is not David hiding with us?'] God, save me by your name, in your power vindicate me.1 when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
2 God, hear my prayer, listen to the words I speak.2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 Arrogant men are attacking me, bullies hounding me to death, no room in their thoughts forGod.Pause3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4 But now God is coming to my help, the Lord, among those who sustain me.4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5 May their wickedness recoil on those who lie in wait for me. Yahweh, in your constancy destroy them.5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
6 How gladly wil I offer you sacrifice, and praise your name, for it is good,6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
7 for it has rescued me from al my troubles, and my eye has feasted on my enemies.7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
