1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David, to give instruction. When the Ziphims came and said unto Saul, Is not David hid among us? Save mee, O God, by thy Name, and by thy power iudge me.

2 O God, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes of my mouth.

3 For strangers are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. Selah.

4 Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that vpholde my soule.

5 He shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: Oh cut them off in thy trueth!

6 Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, because it is good.

7 For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.

What does the psalm say about God as helper?
Verse 4 says 'Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul,' a confidence similar to Hebrews 13:6's 'The Lord is my helper.'
How does the psalm end?
It ends with thanksgiving already looking back on deliverance: 'he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies' (v.7).
