Psalms 54

1 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy might.

For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Does David not hide himself with us?” Save me, God, by your name, and judge me in your might.

2 Hear my prayer, O God. Give ear to the words of my mouth.

Hear my prayer, God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul. They have not set God before them. (Selah)

For strangers have risen up against me, and pitiless men have sought after my life; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is of those who uphold my soul.

See, God is my helper; the Lord is the one who upholds me.

5 He will requite the evil to my enemies. Destroy thou them in thy truth.

He will repay my enemies with evil; in your faithfulness, destroy them!

6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to thee. I will give thanks to thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

I will sacrifice to you with a freewill offering; I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.

7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble, and my eye has seen it upon my enemies.

For he has rescued me from every trouble; my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
