Psalm 53 (54)

Save me, O God, by Your name, and judge me by Your power.

O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.

For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my soul:

they have not set God before them.

For behold, God helped me;

and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

He shall return the evil things to my enemies;

utterly wipe them out by Your truth.

I will willingly sacrifice to You: I will confess Your name, O Lord; for it is good.

For You have delivered me out of every affliction,

and my eye has looked down upon my enemies. ALLELUIA.
