Psalms 54

1 SAVE me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

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

2 Hear my prayer, O God; 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 oppressors seek 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 mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

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

5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

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

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise 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 seen his desire upon mine enemies.

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