| 54:1 | To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, 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. | |
| 54:2 | Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. | |
| 54:3 | For strangers have risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah. | |
| 54:4 | Behold, God my helper: the Lord with them that uphold my soul. | |
| 54:5 | He will reward evil to my enemies; cut them off in thy truth. | |
| 54:6 | I will freely sacrifice to thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for good. | |
| 54:7 | For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath seen upon my enemies. | |
