Psalm 54, side by side
Two versions of the same chapter. Each row is one verse, so you can see how the wording changes.
1Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.
1Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.
2Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them.
3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
4Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.
5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
6With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, the LORD, for it is good.
6I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
7For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
