1 To the chief music-maker; on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David.\
2 When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Is not David keeping himself secret among us?
3 Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.
4 Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
5 For men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah.)
6 See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul.
7 Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.
