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  aHear my prayer, O God;

Give ear to the words of my mouth.

3  For bstrangers are risen up against me,

And oppressors seek after my soul:

They have not set God before them. Selah.

4  Behold, cGod is mine helper:

The Lord is cwith them that uphold my soul.

5  He shall reward evil unto †mine enemies:

dCut them off ein thy truth.

6  I will ffreely sacrifice unto thee:

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

7  For he hath delivered me out of all trouble:

And mine eye hath hseen his desire upon mine enemies.
