1Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!
1(54-1) For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David: (54-2) when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: 'Doth not David hide himself with us?' (54-3) O God, save me by Thy name, and right me by Thy might.
2Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
2(54-4) O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God. Selah
3(54-5) For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul; they have not set God before them. Selah
4Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
4(54-6) Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is for me as the upholder of my soul.
5He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.
5(54-7) He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; destroy Thou them in Thy truth.
6Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.
6(54-8) With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto Thee; I will give thanks unto Thy name, O LORD, for it is good.
7For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have stared down my foes.
7(54-9) For He hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath gazed upon mine enemies.
