Psalms 54

1 [For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Isn't David hiding himself among us?"] Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

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.

2 Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

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

3 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven't set God before them. (Selah)

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

4 Look, God is my helper. The LORD is the one who sustains my soul.

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

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

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

6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.

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

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

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