54:1 {To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us?} O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice. 54:2 O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth. 54:3 For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. Selah. 54:4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul. 54:5 He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off. 54:6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good. 54:7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies. 54:8 {To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David.} Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. 54:9 {To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David.} Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
