Chapter 53

David in distress crieth to God for help, ℣.6 Confidently trusting therein, ℣.8 and promising sacrifice of thanks-giving.

1. 1

   Unto the end, in songs understanding for David and said to Saul: Is not David hid with us?

2. 2

   when the Zipheites were come,

3. 3

   O God save me in thy name: and in thy strength judge me.

4. 4

   O God hear my prayer with thine ears: receive the words of my mouth.

5. 5

   Because strangers have risen up against me, & the strong have sought my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.

6. 6

   For behold God helpeth me: and our Lord is the receiver of my soul.

7. 7

   Turn away the evils of mine enemies: and in thy truth destroy them.

8. 8

   I will voluntarily sacrifice to thee, and will confess to thy name o Lord, because it is good:

9. 9

   Because thou hast delivered me out of all tribulation: and mine eye hath looked down upon mine enemies.
