TEHILLIM54eng_ojb
1(For the director. With stringed instruments. A maskil. For Dovid,2when the Ziphim came and said to Sha'ul, Dovid is in hiding among us)3Hoshieini (save me), O Elohim, by Shimecha,and vindicate me by Thy gevurah (might, power).4Hear my tefillah, O Elohim;give ear to the words of my mouth.5For zarim (strangers) are risen up against me,and oppressors seek after my nefesh;they have not set Elohim before them.Selah6Hinei, Elohim is mine Ozer (helper);Adonoi is with them that uphold my nefesh.7He shall recompense the rah (evil) unto mine enemies;in Thy emes cut them off.8I will sacrifice a nedavah (freewill offering) unto Thee;I will praise Shimecha, Hashem; for it is tov (good).9For He hath delivered me out of all my tzoros;and mine eye hath looked in triumph upon mine oyevim (enemies.)
