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.

Tehillim (Psa) 54
54
1For the leader. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David, 2when the Zifim came and told Sha’ul, “David is hiding with us”:
3God, deliver me by your name;
in your power, vindicate me.
4God, hear my prayer;
listen to the words from my mouth.
5For foreigners are rising against me,
violent men are seeking my life;
they give no thought to God. (Selah)
6But God is helping me;
Adonai is my support.
7May he repay the evil
to those who are lying in wait for me.
In your faithfulness, destroy them!
8Then I will generously sacrifice to you;
I will praise your name, Adonai,
because it is good,
9because he rescued me from all trouble,
and my eyes look with triumph at my enemies.
