Prayer for Deliverance

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding among us?” ^(A)

¹God, save me by your name,
and vindicate me by your might!^(B)
²God, hear my prayer;
listen to the words from my mouth.^(C)
³For strangers rise up against me,
and violent men intend to kill me.
They do not let God guide them.^[a]^(D)Selah

⁴God is my helper;
the Lord is the sustainer of my life.^[b]^(E)
⁵He will repay my adversaries for their evil.
Because of your faithfulness, annihilate them.^(F)

⁶I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you.^(G)
I will praise your name, Lord,
because it is good.^(H)
⁷For he has rescued me from every trouble,
and my eye has looked down on my enemies.^(I)
