Psalms 54

1 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.

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, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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