| Chapter 54 |
1 |
{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us?} O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice. -
|
2 |
O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth. -
|
3 |
For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. Selah. -
|
4 |
Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul. -
|
5 |
He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off. -
|
6 |
I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good. -
|
7 |
For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies. -
