Psalms 54
1
(53-1) <Unto the end, in verses, understanding for David. (53-2) When the end of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us?> (53-3) Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.
2
(53-4) O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.
3
(53-5) For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.
4
(53-6) For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
5
(53-7) Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.
6
(53-8) I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:
7
(53-9) For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.

Psalms 55
1
(54-1) <Unto the end, in verses, understanding for David.> (54-2) Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not my supplication:
2
(54-3) Be attentive to me and hear me. I am grieved in my exercise; and am troubled,
3
(54-4) At the voice of the enemy, and at the tribulation of the sinner. For they have cast iniquities upon me: and in wrath they were troublesome to me.
4
(54-5) My heart is troubled within me: and the fear of death is fallen upon me.
5
(54-6) Fear and trembling are come upon me: and darkness hath covered me.
6
(54-7) And I said: Who will give me wings like a dove, and I will fly and be at rest?
7
(54-8) Lo, I have gone far off flying away; and I abode in the wilderness.
8
(54-9) I waited for him that hath saved me from pusillanimity of spirit, and a storm.
9
(54-10) Cast down, O Lord, and divide their tongues; for I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.
10
(54-11) Day and night shall iniquity surround it upon its walls: and in the midst thereof are labour,
11
(54-12) And injustice. And usury and deceit have not departed from its streets.
12
(54-13) For if my enemy had reviled me, I would verily have borne with it. And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden my self from him.
13
(54-14) But thou a man of one mind, my guide, and my familiar,
14
(54-15) Who didst take sweetmeats together with me: in the house of God we walked with consent.
15
(54-16) Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into hell. For there is wickedness in their dwellings: in the midst of them.
16
(54-17) But I have cried to God: and the Lord will save me.
17
(54-18) Evening and morning, and at noon I will speak and declare: and he shall hear my voice.
18
(54-19) He shall redeem my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: for among many they were with me.
19
(54-20) God shall hear, and the Eternal shall humble them. For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God:
20
(54-21) He hath stretched forth his hand to repay. They have defiled his covenant,
21
(54-22) They are divided by the wrath of his countenance, and his heart hath drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and the same are darts.
22
(54-23) Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall not suffer the just to waver for ever.
23
(54-24) But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee, O Lord.

Psalms 56
1
(55-1) <Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance form the sanctuary: for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar) when the Philistines held him in Geth.> (55-2) Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.
2
(55-3) My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.
3
(55-4) From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.
4
(55-5) In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.
5
(55-6) All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.
6
(55-7) They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,
7
(55-8) For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces. O God,
8
(55-9) I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set me tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.
9
(55-10) Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.
10
(55-11) In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech.
11
(55-11) In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.
12
(55-12) In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:
13
(55-13) Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
