Psalm 53 — The Holy Bible

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.
