PSALMS - Chapter 53

A Contemplation of David

The fool has said in his heart,"There is no Elohim." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.

Elohim looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek Elohim. Every one of them has turned aside; they have together become corrupt; there is none who does good, no, not one.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon Elohim? There they are in great fear where no fear was, for Elohim has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; you have put them to shame, because Elohim has despised them.

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Elohim brings back the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.

Chapter 54

A Contemplation of David When the Ziphites Went and Said to Saul, "Is David Not Hiding with Us?"

Save me, O Elohim, by your name, and vindicate me by your strength.

Hear my prayer, O Elohim; give ear to the words of my mouth. For strangers have risen up against me, and oppressors have sought after my life; they have not set Elohim before them. Selah

Behold, Elohim is my helper; the Master is with those who uphold my life. He will repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in your truth.

I will freely sacrifice to you; I will praise your name, O YAHWEH, for it is good. For He has delivered me out of all trouble; and my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.

AN ADDED TREAT!
