Psalm 54 - Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

PSALM 54

A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?

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

² My prayer hear, O God; give ear unto my words at length.

³ For they that strangers are to me do up against me rise; Oppressors seek my soul, and God set not before their eyes.

⁴ The Lord my God my helper is, lo, therefore I am bold: He taketh part with ev'ry one that doth my soul uphold.

⁵ Unto mine enemies he shall mischief and ill repay: O for thy truth's sake cut them off, and sweep them clean away.

⁶ I will a sacrifice to thee give with free willingness; Thy name, O Lord, because 'tis good, with praise I will confess.

⁷ For he hath me delivered from all adversities; And his desire mine eye hath seen upon mine enemies.
