Psalms 54

1 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, 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 he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.

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