| 1 | <V 53:1>Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David, <V 53:2>when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?” <V 53:3>Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue. | O God, save me by your name, and vindicate me by your might. | For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, “Is not David hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might. | |
| 2 | <V 53:4>O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth. | O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth. | Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth. | |
| 3 | <V 53:5>For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes. | For strangers have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before themselves. Selah | Arrogant foes are attacking me; ruthless people are trying to kill me— people without regard for God. | |
| 4 | <V 53:6>For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul. | Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life. | Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. | |
| 5 | <V 53:7>Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth. | He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them. | Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them. | |
| 6 | <V 53:8>I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good. | With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, for it is good. | I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, LORD, for it is good. | |
| 7 | <V 53:9>For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies. | For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies. | You have delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes. | |
