PSALM 54

God Helps Me

To the director; among the hymns of contemplation to David; in the coming of the Ziphites, and their saying to Saul, Behold is not David hidden with us?

1 O God, by your name deliver me, and by your power judge me! 2 O God, listen to my prayer, give ear to the words of my mouth! 3 For strangers rose up against me; and strong men seek my life; and they did not set God before them. 4 For behold God helps me; and the lord is a shielder of my life. 5 He shall return the evils to my enemies. By your truth utterly destroy them! 6 Voluntarily I will sacrifice to you; I will make acknowledgment to your name, O lord, for good. 7 For from out of all afflictions you rescued me; and among my enemies [²looked upon its request ¹my eye].
