Psalms 54

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

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

1To the Overseer with stringed instruments. --An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, `Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.

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

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

2O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings 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 strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

3For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.

4Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

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

4Lo, God <FI>is<Fi> a helper to me, The Lord <FI>is<Fi> with those supporting my soul,

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

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

5Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.

6With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

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

6With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for <FI>it is<Fi> good,

7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies.

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

7For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!
