For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
Save me, O God, by thy name,
And judge me in thy might.
Hear my prayer, O God;
Give ear to the words of my mouth.
For strangers are risen up against me,
And violent men have sought after my soul:
They have not set God before them. [Selah
Behold, God is my helper:
The Lord is {Or, with}of them that uphold my soul.
{Another reading is, The evil shall return.}He will requite the evil unto {Or, them that lie in wait for me}mine enemies:
Destroy thou them in thy truth.
With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee:
I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.
For he hath delivered me out of all trouble;
And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies.
Querverweise zu Psalm 54,6 Ps 54,6
I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings;I will pay thee my vows,
Which my lips uttered,And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.
I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings,With the incense of rams;I will offer bullocks with goats. [Selah
Come, and hear, all ye that fear God,And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness,And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.
I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it;And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints.
And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,And declare his works with singing.
Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength:So will we sing and praise thy power.
A Psalm, a Song for the sabbath day.It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah,And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,And will call upon the name of Jehovah.
Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name:The upright shall dwell in thy presence.
{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah; {Or, For he is good: sing praises unto our God; For he is gracious}For it is good to sing praises unto our God;For it is pleasant, and praise is comely.
and thither ye shall bring your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill-offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock:
and there ye shall eat before Jehovah your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee.
