Psalms 54

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

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 Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

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

3 For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God.

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

4 Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

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

5 He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

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

6 Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

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

7 For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have stared down my foes.

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