For the end, among the Hymns of instruction by David,
when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hidden with us?
Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me by thy might.
O God, hear my prayer; Hearken to the words of my mouth.
For strangers have risen up against me, And mighty men have sought my life: They have not set God before them. Pause.
For lo! God assists me; And the Lord is the helper of my soul.
He shall return evil to mine enemies; Utterly destroy them in thy truth.
I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord; for it is good.
For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, And mine eye has seen my desire upon mine enemies.
