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.

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? 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 mine helper: the Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

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

He shall requite the evil unto mine 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 will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O LORD, 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 hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
