1(54) For the end, amongst Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Behold, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your might.
2O God, hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. Pause.
4For behold! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.
5He shall return evil to my enemies; utterly destroy them in your truth.
6I will willingly sacrifice to you: I will give thanks to your name, O Lord; for it is good.
