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 victorie in orguns, ether in salmes, the lernyng of Dauid, `whanne Zyfeys camen, and seiden to Saul, Whethir Dauid is not hid at vs? God, in thi name make thou me saaf; and in thi vertu deme thou me.

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

God, here thou my preier; with eeris perseyue thou the wordis 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 aliens han rise ayens me, and stronge men souyten my lijf; and thei settiden not God bifor her siyt.

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

For, lo! God helpith me; and the Lord is vptaker of my soule.

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

Turne thou awei yuelis to myn enemyes; and leese thou hem in thi treuthe.

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

Wilfuli Y schal make sacrifice to thee; and, Lord, Y schal knouleche to thi name, for it is good.

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

For thou delyueridist me fro al tribulacioun; and myn iye dispiside on myn enemyes.
