Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
Psalm 54
To the Chief Musician; with stringed instruments. A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem, of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, David is hiding among us.
1 Save me, O God, by Your name; judge and vindicate me by Your mighty strength and power.
2 Hear my pleading and my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers and insolent men are rising up against me, and violent men and ruthless ones seek and demand my life; they do not set God before them. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
4 Behold, God is my helper and ally; the Lord is my upholder and is with them who uphold my life.
5 He will pay back evil to my enemies; in Your faithfulness [Lord] put an end to them.
6 With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You; I will give thanks and praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good.
7 For He has delivered me out of every trouble, and my eye has looked [in triumph] on my enemies.

Psalm 54
1 Voor de leider van het koor. Begeleiden op een snaarinstrument. 2 Een lied van David, om iets van te leren. Hij maakte het toen de mannen uit Zif aan Saul hadden verraden dat David zich bij hen had verborgen.[a]
3 God, red mij! Laat zien hoe machtig U bent!
Kom alstublieft voor mij op.
4 God, luister naar mijn gebed!
Hoor wat ik zeg!
5 Want vijanden bedreigen mij.
Slechte mensen willen me doden.
Ze trekken zich niets van U aan.
6 Maar U zal me helpen.
U maakt mij sterk.
7 U zal de mensen straffen die me bedreigen.
Vernietig hen, omdat U trouw aan mij bent!
8 Omdat ik U zo dankbaar ben,
zal ik U veel offers brengen,
Ik zal U prijzen omdat U zo goed voor me bent.
9 Want U heeft me gered uit alle moeilijkheden.
Ik heb zelf gezien hoe mijn vijanden zijn gevallen.

Psalm 54
King James Version
54 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.
7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
