1(54) For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Behold, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your might.
1Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2O God, hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth.
2Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. Pause.
3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4For behold! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.
4Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5He shall return evil to my enemies; utterly destroy them in your truth.
5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
6I will willingly sacrifice to you: I will give thanks to your name, O Lord; for [it is] good.
6I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.
7For you have delivered me out of all affliction, and my eye has seen [my desire] upon my enemies.
7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
