Chapter — Douay-Rheims
Psalms 53
1.
Unto the end, in verses, understanding for David.
2.
When the en 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.
