Psalms 54
|
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. | 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. |
Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. | Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth. |
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.) | For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah |
See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul. | Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul. |
Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith. | He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth. |
Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to your 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. |
Because it has been my saviour from all my trouble; and my eyes have seen the punishment of my haters. | For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies. |
