Psalms • Chapter 54

1 Save me, O God (Elohim), by thy name, And judge me in thy might. 2 Hear my prayer, O God (Elohim); Give ear to the words of my mouth. 3 For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God (Elohim) before them. Selah 4 Behold, God (Elohim) is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul. 5 He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth. 6 With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good. 7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies. Psalm 55 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David.
