0. To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, "David is in hiding among us."

1. Save me, O God, by thy name, and vindicate me by thy might.

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

3. For insolent men have risen against me, ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before them. [Selah]

4. Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.

5. He will requite my enemies with evil; in thy faithfulness put an end to them.

6. With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to thee; I will give thanks to thy name, O LORD, for it is good.

7. For thou hast delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.





“Não se desencoraje, pois, se na alma existe o contínuo esforço de melhorar, no final o Senhor a premia fazendo nela florir, de repente, todas as virtudes como num jardim florido.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
