2 Ouve a minha oração; inclina os teus ouvidos ao que vou dizer.

3 Porque gente com quem eu nada tenho a ver se levantou contra mim, gente violenta e cruel que quer tirar-me a vida, e que não se preocupa sequer com o que Deus pensa sobre isso.

5 Ele anulará o mal dos que andam à espreita para darem cabo de mim. Segundo o que tu próprio prometeste, Senhor, tu os destruirás.

6 Com alegria te trago os meus sacrifícios, e te louvarei, Senhor, porque és bom,

7 porque me livraste das minhas aflições e vi cumprido o meu desejo em relação aos meus adversários.

1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Does not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by your name, And judge me in your might.

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

3 For strangers have risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah.

4 Look, God is my helper: The Lord is of those who uphold my soul.

5 He will bring back the evil to my enemies: Destroy them in your truth.

6 With a freewill-offering I will sacrifice to you: I will give thanks to your name, O Yahweh, for it is good.

7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen [my desire] on my enemies.
