< 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.
2 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings 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)
4 Behold, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,
5 Turn back the evil to my enemies, Cut them off in Your truth.
6 I sacrifice to You with a free-will offering, I thank Your Name, O YHWH, for [it is] good,
7 For He delivered me from all adversity, And my eye has looked on my enemies!
