1901 American Standard Version (ASV)

Psalms 54

1 David, complaining of the Ziphims, prayeth for salvation. 4 Upon his confidence in God's help he promiseth sacrifice.

 54:1 ¶ [[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?]] Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.

 54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.

 54:3 For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah.

 54:4 Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

 54:5 He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.

 54:6 With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

 54:7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
