Psalms 54

1 Save me, O Elohim, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

To the chief music-maker; on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Is not David keeping himself secret among us? Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.

2 Hear my prayer, O Elohim; give ear to the words of my mouth.

Let my prayer come before you, 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 Elohim before them. (Selah)

For men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah)

4 Behold, Elohim is mine helper: YHWH is with them that uphold my soul.

See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul.

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

Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O YHWH; for it is good.

Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to your name, O Lord, for it is good.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

Because it has been my saviour from all my trouble; and my eyes have seen the punishment of my haters.
