Save Me by Your Name
1For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A MaskilMaskil is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 32, 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, and 142. of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?”
Save me, O God, by Your name,
and vindicate me by Your might!
2Hear my prayer, O God;
listen to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers rise up against me,
and ruthless men seek my life —
men with no regard for God.
Selah
4Surely God is my helper;
the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
5He will reward my enemies with evil.
In Your faithfulness, destroy them.
6Freely I will sacrifice to You;
I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.
7For He has delivered me from every trouble,
and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
