Psalms 54

1Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.

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 violent men have sought 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 my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

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

5He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.

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

6With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, 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 my desire upon mine enemies.

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