Psalms 54

Save me, God, by your name, and judge my case by your strength. Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth. Because strangers have risen up against me, and violent men are after my soul. They haven't set God before them. Selah. Look — God is my helper. The Lord is with those who uphold my soul.

God is my helper

Save me, God, by your name, and judge my case by your strength. Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth. Because strangers have risen up against me, and violent men are after my soul. They haven't set God before them. Selah. Look — God is my helper. The Lord is with those who uphold my soul. He'll pay back evil to my enemies. Cut them off in your truth. I'll freely sacrifice to you; I'll praise your name, LORD, because it is good. Because he's delivered me of every distress, and my eye has seen what I wanted on my enemies.

Save me, God, by your name, and judge my case by your strength. Hear my prayer, God. Turn your ear to the words of my mouth. Because strangers have got up against me, and violent men are after my soul. They haven't set God in front of them. Look — God is my helper. The Master is with the ones holding my soul up. He'll pay back evil to the ones watching me. Cut them off in your truth. I'll bring you an offering freely. I'll thank your name, Lord, because it's good. Because he's got me out of every hard place, and my eye has seen what I wanted on the ones against me.

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 strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah. Behold, God 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 delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
