when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Behold, David has been hidden among us
O God, by your name save me, and by your power judge me.
O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.
ἀλλότριοι ἐπανέστησαν ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ καὶ κραταιοὶ ἐζήτησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου οὐ προέθεντο τὸν θεὸν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν διάψαλμα
For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my soul; they have not set God before them. Selah
For behold, God helps me, and the Lord is the upholder of my soul.
He will turn back the evils upon my enemies; in your truth destroy them completely.
With a willing heart I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, because it is good.
For out of every affliction you delivered me, and among my enemies my eye looked upon me.
