Psalm 54

Darby Translation

To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us?

54 O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

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

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

⁴ Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.

⁵ He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.

⁶ I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

⁷ For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
