Psalms 54

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

For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding himself amongst us?” Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

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

Hear my prayer, God. Listen 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. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. (Selah)

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

Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

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

He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

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

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, and my eye has seen it upon my enemies.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
