About this chapterA short prayer said to be from the time the Ziphites told Saul where David was hiding. Strangers rise against him, and ruthless people seek his life with no regard for God. David asks God to save him and vindicate him by his name and power. He is confident that God is his helper and sustains his life, and that evil will return on those who watch him. He promises a freewill offering and thanks the Lord for his goodness, because God delivered him from every trouble.

1Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might! 2Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth. 3For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God.Selah 4Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul. 5He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them. 6Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good. 7For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
