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.

I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Lord ; for it is good.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
