1(54) For the end, among 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.
1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
2O God, hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth.
2God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. Pause.
3Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4For behold! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
5He shall return evil to my enemies; utterly destroy them in your truth.
5There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
6I will willingly sacrifice to you: I will give thanks to your name, O Lord; for [it is] good.
6Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
