For the Music Director. With stringed instruments. A Contemplative Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, “Is David not hiding among us?”

1 O God, save me by Your name,
    and judge me by Your strength.
2 O God, hear my prayer;
    give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers rise up against me,
    and formidable adversaries seek my life;
    they do not set God before them. Selah
