1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psalms 54

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

 54:1 ¶ To the Overseer with stringed instruments.—An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, 'Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.

 54:2 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

 54:3 For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.

 54:4 Lo, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,

 54:5 Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.

 54:6 With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for [it is] good,

 54:7 For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!
