David’s Psalm of Deliverance

Now David spoke the words of this song to the Lord on the day that the Lord had saved him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.

You have also saved me from the contentions of my people; You have kept me as head of the nations; A people I have not known serve me.
