Psalms 54

1 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.

לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ בִּנְגִינֹ֗ת מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִֽד׃ בְּבֹ֣וא הַ֭זִּיפִים וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ לְשָׁא֑וּל הֲלֹ֥א דָ֝וִ֗ד מִסְתַּתֵּ֥ר עִמָּֽנוּ׃ אֱ֭לֹהִים בְּשִׁמְךָ֣ הֹושִׁיעֵ֑נִי וּבִגְבוּרָתְךָ֥ תְדִינֵֽנִי׃

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

אֱ֭לֹהִים שְׁמַ֣ע תְּפִלָּתִ֑י הַ֝אֲזִ֗ינָה לְאִמְרֵי־פִֽי׃

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

כִּ֤י זָרִ֨ים ׀ קָ֤מוּ עָלַ֗י וְֽ֭עָרִיצִים בִּקְשׁ֣וּ נַפְשִׁ֑י לֹ֤א שָׂ֨מוּ אֱלֹהִ֖ים לְנֶגְדָּ֣ם סֶֽלָה׃

4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

הִנֵּ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים עֹזֵ֣ר לִ֑י אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י בְּֽסֹמְכֵ֥י נַפְשִֽׁי׃

5 He shall requite the evil unto mine enemies: destroy thou them in thy truth.

יָשֹׁוב (יָשִׁ֣יב) הָ֭רַע לְשֹׁרְרָ֑י בַּ֝אֲמִתְּךָ֗ הַצְמִיתֵֽם׃

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

בִּנְדָבָ֥ה אֶזְבְּחָה־לָּ֑ךְ אֹ֤ודֶה שִּׁמְךָ֖ יְהוָ֣ה כִּי־טֹֽוב׃

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

כִּ֣י מִכָּל־צָ֭רָה הִצִּילָ֑נִי וּ֝בְאֹיְבַ֗י רָאֲתָ֥ה עֵינִֽי׃
