Psalms 54

1 Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David, when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?” Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue.

2 O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes.

4 For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

5 Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth.

6 I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good.

7 For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.
