The Psalms

Psalm 54

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?

 ^54:1Save me, O God, by thy name,

 And judge me in thy might.

 ^54:2Hear my prayer, O God;

 Give ear to the words of my mouth.

 ^54:3For strangers are risen up against me,

 And violent men have sought after my soul:

 They have not set God before them.

Selah

 ^54:4Behold, God is my helper:

 The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

 ^54:5He will requite the evil unto mine enemies:

 Destroy thou them in thy truth.

 ^54:6With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee:

 I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

 ^54:7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble;

 And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies.
