Psalms 54

1 Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David. When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.

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 O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.

O God, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes of my mouth.

3 For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.

For strangers are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. (Selah)

4 For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

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

5 Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.

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

6 I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:

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

7 For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.

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