Psalm 54 - King James Version with Apocrypha - American Edition

A Prayer for Protection from Enemies

To the chief Musician on Neg´inoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphim came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?

¹ Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

² Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

³ For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

⁴ Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

⁵ He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

⁶ I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.

⁷ For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
