Psalms 54

1 God, by your power [MTY, DOU] save me [from my enemies], and show people that I have not done anything that is wrong!

Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy might.

2 God, listen to my prayer; listen to what I say to you,

Hear my prayer, O God. Give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 because strangers are [trying to] attack me; proud men are wanting to kill me; men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.

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

4 But God is the one who helps me; Yahweh defends/protects me [from my enemies].

Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is of those who uphold my soul.

5 He will cause the evil things that they want to do to me to happen to them instead; because he faithfully [does what he promises], he will get rid of them.

He will requite the evil to my enemies. Destroy thou them in thy truth.

6 Yahweh, I will gladly give an offering to you because I want to, and I will thank you [MTY], for you are good [to me];

With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to thee. I will give thanks to thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

7 you have rescued me from all my troubles, and I have seen that you have defeated my enemies.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble, and my eye has seen it upon my enemies.
