Psalms 53

1Unto the end, in songs understanding for David

2when the Zipheites were come, and said to Saul: Is not David hid with us?

3O God save me in thy name: and in thy strength judge me.

4O God hear my prayer with thine ears: receive the words of my mouth.

5Because strangers have risen up against me, & the strong have sought my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.

6For behold God helpeth me: and our Lord is the receiver of my soul.

7Turn away the evils of mine enemies: and in thy truth destroy them.

8I will voluntarily sacrifice to thee, and will confess to thy name o Lord, because it is good:

9Because thou hast delivered me out of all tribulation: and mine eye hath looked down upon mine enemies.
