Psalm 53
For the End; in hymns; concerning understanding, by David;
when the Ziphites came and said to Saul “Is not David hiding with us?”
Save me, O God, in Your name, And judge me in Your power.
O God, hear my prayer; Give ear to the words of my mouth.
For strangers rise up against me, And the powerful seek after my soul;
They have not set God before them. (pause)
For behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the protector of my soul.
He will return evils to my enemies; Utterly destroy them in Your truth.
I will sacrifice to You voluntarily; I will give thanks to Your name, O Lord, for it is good.
You delivered me from all my afflictions, And my eye looked upon my enemies.
