Psalms 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? Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might. | To the chief music-maker; on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Is not David keeping himself secret among us?Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength. |
Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth. | Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. |
For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah | For men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah.) |
Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul. | See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul. |
He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth. | Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith. |
With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good. | Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to your name, O Lord, for it is good. |
For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies. | Because it has been my saviour from all my trouble; and my eyes have seen the punishment of my haters. |
