1To the chief musician on Neginoth, a Maskil of David, (54:2) When the Ziphim came and said to Saul, Behold, David is hiding himself with us. (54:3) O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength grant me justice.
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.
6(54:8) I will liberally sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Lord; for it is good.
7(54:9) For out of all distress hath he delivered me: and my eye hath seen its desire on my enemies.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Al Músico principal: en Neginoth: Masquil de David, cuando vinieron los Zipheos y dijeron á Saúl: ¿No está David escondido en nuestra tierra? OH Dios, sálvame por tu nombre, y con tu poder defiéndeme.
2Oh Dios, oye mi oración; escucha las razones de mi boca.
3Porque extraños se han levantado contra mí, y fuertes buscan mi alma: no han puesto á Dios delante de sí. (Selah.)
4He aquí, Dios es el que me ayuda; el Señor es con los que sostienen mi vida.
5El volverá el mal á mis enemigos: córtalos por tu verdad.
6Voluntariamente sacrificaré á ti; alabaré tu nombre, oh Jehová, porque es bueno.
7Porque me ha librado de toda angustia, y en mis enemigos vieron mis ojos mi deseo.
King James Version
1Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
6I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
