| Chapter 53 |
1 | Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David. |
2 | When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us? |
3 | Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength. |
4 | O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth. |
5 | For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes. |
6 | For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul. |
7 | Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth. |
8 | I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good: |
9 | For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies. |
