Psalms 54

1 For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?' O God, save me by Thy name, and right me by Thy might.

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 are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul; they have 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 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul.

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

5 He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; destroy Thou them in Thy truth.

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

6 With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for 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 delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath gazed upon mine enemies.

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