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.

To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us? O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

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

O God, hear my prayer; 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 the violent seek after my life: 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 among them that uphold my soul.

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

He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.

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

I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because 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 hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
