Psalms

Psalm 54

Septuagint Masoretic

For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hid with us?

54:1 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy might.

54:2 O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.

54:3 For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. Pause.

54:4 For lo! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.

54:5 He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in thy truth.

54:6 I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord; for [it is] good.

54:7 For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.

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?

54:1 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

54:3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

54:4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

54:5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

54:6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.

54:7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
