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 OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF THE ZIPHIM, AND THEY SAY TO SAUL, “IS DAVID NOT HIDING HIMSELF WITH US?” O God, save me by Your Name, and judge me by Your might.

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

O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings 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 have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought 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] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,

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

Turn back the evil to my enemies, Cut them off in Your truth.

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

I sacrifice to You with a free-will offering, I thank Your Name, O YHWH, 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 delivered me from all adversity, And my eye has looked on my enemies!
