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.

2 O God, hear my prayer; listen to the words 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)

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

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

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

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