Psalms 53

The Book of Psalms

54

  For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?

1

Save me, O YAHUVEH, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.

2

Hear my prayer, O YAHUVEH; 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 YAHUVEH before them. Selah

4

Behold, YAHUVEH is my helper: The Master 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 YAHUVEH, for it is good.

7

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies.
