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.

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, O 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 oppressors seek after my soul: 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 Behold, God is my helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

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

5 He shall reward evil to my enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

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

6 I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; 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 hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath seen its desire upon my enemies.

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