1 To the chief musician on Neginoth, a Maskil of David,(54:2)When the Ziphim came and said to Saul, Behold, David is hiding himself with us.(54:3)O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength grant me justice.
2 (54:4)O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 (54:5)For strangers to goodness are risen up against me, and powerful oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4 (54:6)Behold, God is a helper unto me: the Lord is among those that uphold my soul.
5 (54:7)He will cause the evil to return upon those that regard me with envy: in thy truth cut them off.
6 (54:8)I will liberally sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Lord; for it is good.
7 (54:9)For out of all distress hath he delivered me: and my eye hath seen its desire on my enemies.
