Justify me by your power
(1 Samuel 23:7-29)
1
Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David,
2
when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?”
3
Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue.
4
O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
5
For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought 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 adversaries, and ruin them by your truth.
8
I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good.
9
For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.
