Psalms 54

1 For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Behold, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your might.

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.

2 O God, hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth.

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

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. (Pause)

For strangers are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. (Selah)

4 For behold! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.

Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that vpholde my soule.

5 He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in your truth.

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

6 I will willingly sacrifice to you: I will give thanks to your name, O Lord; for [it is] good.

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

7 For you have delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.

For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.
