2(54:4) O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3(54:5) For strangers to goodness are risen up against me, and powerful oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4(54:6) Behold, God is a helper unto me: the Lord is among those that uphold my soul.
5(54:7) He will cause the evil to return upon those that regard me with envy: in thy truth cut them off.
