The Book of Psalms

Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.(a)

(b)

Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.(c)

I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Lord ; for it is good.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

(a)54:1 chief…: or, overseer

(b)54:1 Maschil: or, of instruction
