Psalm 54

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?

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

2 Hear my prayer, O God;

give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul:

they have not set God before them.

Selah

4 Behold, God is mine helper:

the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies:

cut them off in thy truth.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee:

I will praise thy name, O LORD;

for it is good.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble:

and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
