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.

Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

2 O God hear prayer my give ear! to [the] words of mouth my.

Sh'ma ·Hear obey· my prayer, God. Listen 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 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 Here! God [is] a helper of me [the] Lord [is] [those who] sustain life my.

Behold, God is my helper. 'Adonay [Lord] is the one who sustains my soul.

5 (May he bring back *Q(K)*) the evil to enemies my in faithfulness your destroy them.

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

6 In voluntariness I will sacrifice to you I will give thanks to name your O Yahweh for [it is] good.

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 from every trouble he has delivered me and on enemies my it has looked eye my.

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