Psalm 54:1-3
Young's Literal Translation

54 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, `Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.

2 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

3 For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.
