52:7. Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when God shall bring back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. Psalms Chapter 53 Deus, in nomine tuo. A prayer for help in destress. 53:1. Unto the end, in verses, understanding for David. 53:2. When the en of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us? [1 Kings 23.19] 53:3. Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength. 53:4. O God, hear my lprayer: give ear to the words of my mouth. 53:5. For strangers have rrisen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes. 53:6. For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul. 53:7. Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth. 53:8. I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good: 53:9. For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies. Psalms Chapter 54 Exaudi, Deus. A prayer of a just man under persecution from the wicked. It agrees to Christ persecuted by the Jews, and betrayed by Judas. 54:1. Unto the end, in verses, understanding for David. 54:2. Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not lmy supplication: 54:3. Be attentive to me and hear me. I am grieved in my exercise; and am troubled, 54:4. At the voice of the enemy, and at the tribulation of the sinner. For they have cast iniquities upon me: and in wrath they were troublesome to me. 54:5. My heart is troubled within me: and the fear of death is fallen upon me. 54:6. Fear and trembling are come upon me: and darkness hath covered me. 54:7. And I said: Who will give me wings like a dove, and I will fly and be at rest? 54:8. Lo, I have gone far off flying away; and I abode in the wilderness. 54:9. I waited for him that hath saved me from pusillanimity of spirit, and a storm. 54:10. Cast down, O Lord, and divide their tongues; for I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city. 54:11. Day and night shall iniquity surround it upon its walls: and in the midst thereof arelabour, 54:12. And injustice. And usury and deceit have not departed from its streets. 54:13. For if my enemy had reviled me, I would verily have borne with it. And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden my self from him. 54:14. But thou a man of one mind, my guide, and my familiar, 54:15. Who didst take sweetmeats together with me: in the house of God we walked with consent. 54:16. Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into hell. For there is wickedness in their dwellings: in the midst of them.
