Psalm
Psalms, 54
To the director on stringed instruments. Masʹkil.*1 Of David. When the Ziphʹites came in and proceeded to say to Saul: “Is not David concealing himself with us?”
1 O God, by your name save me, And with your mightiness may you plead my cause.
2 O God, hear my prayer; Do give ear to the sayings of my mouth.
3 For there are strangers that have risen up against me, And tyrants that do seek my soul. They have not set God in front of them. Seʹlah.
4 Look! God is my helper; Jehovah*1 is among those supporting my soul.
|
5 He will repay the bad to my foes; In your trueness*1 silence them.
|
6 In willingness I will sacrifice to you. I shall laud your name, O Jehovah, for it is good.
7 For out of every distress he delivered me, And upon my enemies my eye has looked.
