3 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

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

5 For strangers have risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

6 Behold, God is my helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

7 He will reward evil to my enemies; cut them off in thy truth.
