Psalms 54

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 For the leader. On stringed instruments. A maskil of David,	1 when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
2 when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "David is hiding among us."	2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 O God, by your name save me. By your strength defend my cause.	3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4 O God, hear my prayer. Listen to the words of my mouth.	4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5 The arrogant have risen against me; the ruthless seek my life; they do not keep God before them. Selah	5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
6 God is present as my helper; the Lord sustains my life.	6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
7 Turn back the evil upon my foes; in your faithfulness, destroy them.	7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
8 Then I will offer you generous sacrifice and praise your gracious name, LORD,
9 Because it has rescued me from every trouble, and my eyes look down on my foes.
