Psalms Chapter – 53 – Catholic Public Domain Version

1 Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David,

2 when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?”

3 Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue.

4 O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.

5 For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought 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 adversaries, and ruin them by your truth.

8 I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good.

9 For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.
