David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hid with
us? 54:1 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy might.
54:2 O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.
54:3 For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my
life: they have not set God before them. Pause.
54:4 For lo! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.
54:5 He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in thy
truth.
54:6 I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O
Lord; for [it is] good.
54:7 For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen
[my desire] upon mine enemies. |
