1For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David.
1Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2Hearken, O God, to my prayer; and disregard not my supplication.
2Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3Attend to me, and hearken to me: I was grieved in my meditation, and troubled;
3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4because of the voice of the enemy, and because of the oppression of the sinner: for they brought iniquity against me, and were wrathfully angry with me.
4Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5My heart was troubled within me; and the fear of death fell upon me.
5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
6Fear and trembling came upon me, and darkness covered me.
6I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.
7And I said, O that I had wings as [those] of a dove! then would I flee away, and be at rest.
7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
