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!

Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David. When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.

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

O God, hear my prayer: 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 have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.

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

For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of 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.

Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off 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];

I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:

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

For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.
