Psalms 54

1Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

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

2Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

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

3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

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.)

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

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

5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

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

6I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.

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

7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

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