Book Two (Psalms 42-72) "Concerning Israel as a Nation"
Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
1: Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2: Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3: For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4: Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5: He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
6: I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
7: For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
