Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.

For strangers have risen against me And violent men have sought my life; They have not set God before them. Selah.

Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; And do not hide Yourself from my supplication.

We who had sweet fellowship together Walked in the house of God in the throng.

As for me, I shall call upon God, And the Lord will save me.

God will hear and answer them— Even the one who sits enthroned from of old— Selah. With whom there is no change, And who do not fear God.

But You, O God, will bring them down to the pit of destruction; Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.

For the choir director; according to Jonath elem rehokim. A Mikhtam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled upon me; Fighting all day long he oppresses me.

In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?

Because of wickedness, cast them forth, In anger put down the peoples, O God!

Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call; This I know, that God is for me.

In God, whose word I praise, In the Lord , whose word I praise,

In God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Your vows are binding upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.

For You have delivered my soul from death, Indeed my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of the living.

For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, For my soul takes refuge in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge Until destruction passes by.

I will cry to God Most High, To God who accomplishes all things for me.

He will send from heaven and save me; He reproaches him who tramples upon me. Selah. God will send forth His lovingkindness and His truth.

Be exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory be above all the earth.
