| Chapter 54 |
1 |
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? Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might. |
2 |
Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth. |
3 |
For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah |
4 |
Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul. |
5 |
He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth. |
6 |
With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good. |
7 |
For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies. |
