Psalms 54

1 For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Does David not hide himself with us?” Save me, God, by your name, and judge me in your might.

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil 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 judge me in thy might.

2 Hear my prayer, God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

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

3 For strangers have risen up against me, and pitiless men have sought after my life; they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

4 See, God is my helper; the Lord is the one who upholds me.

Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

5 He will repay my enemies with evil; in your faithfulness, destroy them!

He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.

6 I will sacrifice to you with a freewill offering; I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.

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

7 For he has rescued me from every trouble; my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
