Psalm 54:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
54 1 David brought into great danger by reason of the Ziphites, 5 Calleth upon the Name of God to destroy his enemies, 6 Promising sacrifices and free offerings for so great deliverance.
To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalm of David, to give instruction. When the Ziphims came and said unto Saul, (A)Is not David hid among us?
1 Save me, O God, [a]by thy Name, and by thy power judge me.
2 O God, hear my prayer: hearken unto the words of my mouth.
3 For [b]strangers are risen up against me, and [c]tyrants seek my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
