Psalms 54

1 “To the chief musician on Neginoth, a Maskil of David, When the Ziphim came and said to Saul, Behold, David is hiding himself with us.” O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength grant me justice.

TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF THE ZIPHIM, AND THEY SAY TO SAUL, “IS DAVID NOT HIDING HIMSELF WITH US?” O God, save me by Your Name, and judge me by Your might.

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

O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

3 For strangers [to goodness] are risen up against me, and powerful oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Behold, God is a helper unto me: the Lord is among those that uphold my soul.

Behold, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,

5 He will cause the evil to return upon those that regard me with envy: in thy truth cut them off.

Turn back the evil to my enemies, Cut them off in Your truth.

6 I will liberally sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Lord; for it is good.

I sacrifice to You with a free-will offering, I thank Your Name, O YHWH, for [it is] good,

7 For out of all distress hath he delivered me: and my eye hath seen [its desire] on my enemies.

For He delivered me from all adversity, And my eye has looked on my enemies!
