Psalms 54
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil (note: Maskil is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 32, 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, and 142.) of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!
Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life—men with no regard for God. Selah
Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
He shall reward evil unto mine enemies (note: Heb. those that observe me): cut them off in thy truth.
He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.
I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.
Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.
For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
