| 1 | (Psalm 54 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. |
| 2 | Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth. |
| 3 | For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah |
| 4 | Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul. |
| 5 | He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth. |
| 6 | With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good. |
| 7 | For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies. |
