< Psalms 54 >
1 To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a poem of David. When came the Ziphites and they said to Saul ¿ not [is] David hiding himself with us. O God by name your save me and by strength your you will vindicate me.
“For the leader of the music. To be sung on stringed instruments A psalm of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?” Save me, O God! by thy name, And by thy strength defend my cause!
2 O God hear prayer my give ear! to [the] words of mouth my.
O God! hear my prayer, Give ear to the words of my mouth!
3 For strangers - they have risen up on me and ruthless [people] they have sought life my not they have set God to before themselves (Selah)
For enemies have risen up against me, And oppressors seek my life; They have not set God before their eyes. (Pause)
4 Here! God [is] a helper of me [the] Lord [is] [those who] sustain life my.
Behold! God is my helper; The Lord is the support of my life.
5 (May he bring back *Q(K)*) the evil to enemies my in faithfulness your destroy them.
He will repay evil to my enemies; For thy truth's sake, O God! cut them off!
6 In voluntariness I will sacrifice to you I will give thanks to name your O Yahweh for [it is] good.
With a willing heart will I sacrifice to thee; I will praise thy name, O LORD! for it is good;
7 For from every trouble he has delivered me and on enemies my it has looked eye my.
For thou hast delivered me from all trouble, So that my eye hath looked with joy upon my enemies!
