			Psalm 53

				1
						Unto the end, in verses, understanding for David. 
					2
						When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us? (1 Kings 23.19.)
 
					3
						Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.
					4
						O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.
					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.
					6
						For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
					7
						Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.
					8
						I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:
					9
						For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.
