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!

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David, to give instruction. When the Ziphims came and said unto Saul, Is not David hid among us? Save mee, O God, by thy Name, and by thy power iudge me.

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

O God, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes 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 vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. (Selah)

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

Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that vpholde my soule.

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 shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: Oh cut them off in thy trueth!

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];

Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, because it is good.

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

For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.
