Psalm 54

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?

1. Save me, O God, by thy name,

and judge me by thy strength.

2. Hear my prayer, O God;

give ear to the words of my mouth.

3. For strangers are risen up against me,

and oppressors seek after my soul:

they have not set God before them. Selah.

4. Behold, God is mine helper:

the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

5. He shall reward evil unto mine enemies:

cut them off in thy truth.

6. I will freely sacrifice unto thee:

I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.

7. For he hath delivered me out of all trouble:

and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
