Psalms 53

¹Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David

²when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?

³Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue

⁴O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth

⁵For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes

⁶For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul

⁷Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth

⁸I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good

⁹For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies
