Psalms 54

PSALM 54
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
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?
1Save me, O God, by thy great name,
and judge me by thy strength:
2My prayer hear, O God; give ear
unto my words at length.
3For they that strangers are to me
do up against me rise;
Oppressors seek my soul, and God
set not before their eyes.
4The Lord my God my helper is,
lo, therefore I am bold:
He taketh part with ev'ry one
that doth my soul uphold.
5Unto mine enemies he shall
mischief and ill repay:
O for thy truth's sake cut them off,
and sweep them clean away.
6I will a sacrifice to thee
give with free willingness;
Thy name, O Lord, because 'tis good,
with praise I will confess.
7For he hath me delivered
from all adversities;
And his desire mine eye hath seen
upon mine enemies.

Psalms 54
54
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David: When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
1Save me, O God, by thy name,
And judge me in thy might.
2Hear my prayer, O God;
give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers are risen up against me,
And violent men have sought after my soul:
They have not set God before them. Selah
4Behold, God is mine helper:
The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.
5He shall requite the evil unto mine enemies:
Destroy thou them in thy truth.
6With a freewill offering will I sacrifice unto thee:
I will give thanks unto thy name, O LORD, for it is good.
7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble;
And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies.
