Psalms

To the Chief Musician: with Stringed Instruments. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When the Ziphites came and said unto Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us?

54 O God! by thine own Name save me, And by thine own strength wilt thou vindicate me?

2 O God! Hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth;

3 For aliens have risen up against me And men of violence have sought my life, They have not set God before them. [Selah.

4 Lo! God is bringing me help, My Lord is with the upholders of my life;

5 Let him turn back the mischief upon mine adversaries, In thy faithfulness destroy them!

6 With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee, I will praise thy Name, O Yahweh, for it is good;

7 For out of all distress hath he rescued me,—And upon my foes hath mine own eye looked.
