< Psalms 54 >
1 Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.
2 Sh'ma ·Hear obey· my prayer, God. Listen 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) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
4 Behold, God is my helper. 'Adonay [Lord] is the one who sustains my soul.
5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.
6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to your name, Adonai, for it is good.
7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
