Psalms 54

1 [For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Isn't David hiding himself among us?"] Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?' O God, save me by Thy name, and right me by Thy might.

2 Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

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

3 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven't set God before them. (Selah)

For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Look, God is my helper. YHWH is the one who sustains my soul.

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul.

5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; destroy Thou them in Thy truth.

6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, YHWH, for it is good.

With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for it is good.

7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

For He hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath gazed upon mine enemies.
