Psalms 54

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your strength.

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

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

4 Behold, God [is] my helper: the LORD [is] with them that uphold my soul.

5 He will reward evil to my enemies; cut them off in thy truth.

6 I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for [it is] good.

I will freely sacrifice unto you: I will praise your name, O LORD; for it is good.

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