Psalm 54, side by side
Two versions of the same chapter. Each row is one verse, so you can see how the wording changes.
1For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!
1Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
2Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God. Selah
3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
4Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.
5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
6Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O 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 from every trouble, and my eyes have stared down my foes.
7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
