Psalms 54

1 Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David. When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.

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

2 O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.

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

3 For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.

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

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

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

5 Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.

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

6 I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:

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

7 For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.

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