Psalm 54

Jubilee Bible 2000

To the Overcomer on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Does David not hide himself with us?

¹¶ Save me, O God, in thy name and defend me by thy valour.

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

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

⁴¶ Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is with those that uphold my soul.

⁵He shall reward evil unto my enemies; cut them off in thy truth.

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

⁷For he has delivered me out of all trouble, and my eye has seen his desire upon my enemies.
