PSALMS
PSALM 54
David pleads for salvation and promises to serve God.
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
SAVE me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
For astrangers• are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
Behold, aGod• is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
For he hath adelivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his bdesire• upon mine enemies.
