Psalms 54

1 Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.

1 OGod, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

2Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

2 OGod, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3For 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.)

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not setGod before them. Selah.

4See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul.

4 Behold,God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.

5Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.

5 He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.

6Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to your name, O Lord, for it is good.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

7Because it has been my saviour from all my trouble; and my eyes have seen the punishment of my haters.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
