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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in your truth.

6 With a freewill offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto 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 mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye has seen his desire upon mine enemies.
