Justify me by your power

(1 Samuel 23:7-29)
1
Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David.
2
When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us?
3
Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.
4
O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.
5
For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.
6
For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
7
Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.
8
I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:
9
For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.

Justify me by your power

(1 Samuel 23:7-29)
1
Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.
2
Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.
3
For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. Selah.
4
Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
5
He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.
6
With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.
7
For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
