1(55) For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David. Listen, O God, to my prayer; and disregard not my supplication.
1For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding himself among us?” Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.
2Attend to me, and listen to me: I was grieved in my meditation, and troubled;
2Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.
3because of the voice of the enemy, and because of the oppression of the sinner: for they brought iniquity against me, and were wrathfully angry with me.
3For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. Selah.
4My heart was troubled within me; and the fear of death fell upon me.
4Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
5Fear and trembling came upon me, and darkness covered me.
5He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.
6And I said, O that I had wings as [those] of a dove! then would I flee away, and be at rest.
6With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.
7Behold! I have fled afar off, and lodged in the wilderness. Pause.
7For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
