Psalms 54

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.

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

2O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

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

3For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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