Psalms 53

Brenton Septuagint · 9 verses · 6 questions below

For the end, among the Hymns of instruction by David,

when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hid with us?

Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy might.

O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.

For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. Pause.

For lo! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.

He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in thy truth.

I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord; for [it is] good.

For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
