Text · Psalm 54
Save Me, O God, by Thy Great Name
Save me, O God, by thy great name
from the Scottish Psalter, 1650 · 8.6.8.6
1.Save me, O God, by thy great name,
and judge me by thy strength:
My prayer hear, O God; give ear
unto my words at length.
2.For they that strangers are to me
do up against me rise;
Oppressors seek my soul, and God
set not before their eyes.
3.The Lord my God my helper is,
lo, therefore I am bold:
He taketh part with everyone
that doth my soul uphold.
4.Unto mine enemies he shall
mischief and ill repay:
O for thy truth's sake cut them off,
and sweep them clean away.
5.I will a sacrifice to thee
give with free willingness;
Thy name, O Lord, because 'tis good,
with praise I will confess.
6.For he hath me delivered
from all adversities;
And his desire mine eye hath seen
upon mine enemies.
