Psalms 54

To 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.

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

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

Lo, God is a helper to me, The Lord is with those supporting my soul,

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

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

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