53
1 For the end, among the Hymns of instruction by David,
2 when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hidden with us?
3 Save me, O God, by thy name,
And judge me by thy might.
4 O God, hear my prayer;
Hearken to the words of my mouth.
5 For strangers have risen up against me,
And mighty men have sought my life:
They have not set God before them. Pause.
6 For lo! God assists me;
And the Lord is the helper of my soul.
7 He shall return evil to mine enemies;
Utterly destroy them in thy truth.
8 I will willingly sacrifice to thee:
I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord; for it is good.
9 For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction,
And mine eye has seen my desire upon mine enemies.
