Psalm 54 Deus, in Nomine.

SAVE me, O God, for thy Name's sake, * and avenge me in thy strength.

²Hear my prayer, O God, * and hearken unto the words of my mouth.

³For strangers are risen up against me; * and tyrants, which have not God before their eyes, seek after my soul.

⁴Behold, God is my helper; * the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

⁵He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: * destroy thou them in thy truth.

⁶An offering of a free heart will I give thee, and praise thy Name, O LORD; * because it is so comfortable.

⁷For he hath delivered me out of all my trouble; * and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
