Psalms
(Of the Director; with string accompaniment; meditative; of David’s, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul “David is keeping himself concealed in our country.”)
54 Save me, God, by your name,
affirm my right by your feats;
2 Hear, God, my prayer,
give ear to the words of my mouth;
3 For high-handed men have stood up against me
and overbearing men are looking for my life,
have not set God before them. (Selah)
4 Here I have God to help me;
the Lord is a bearer-up of my soul.
5 Let evil come back upon my ill-wishers;
in your faithfulness annihilate them:
6 I will sacrifice to you without limit,
will give thanks to your name, Jehovah, because it is good,
7 Because you have delivered me out of all distress
and my eye has looked on at the fate of my enemies.
