Psalms 54 Comparison: Bible in Basic English vs New Heart English Bible
Psalms 54
1Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.
2Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah.)
4See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul.
5Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.
6Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to your name, O Lord, for it is good.
7Because it has been my saviour from all my trouble; and my eyes have seen the punishment of my haters.
Psalms 54
1Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.
2Hear my prayer, God. Listen 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. Selah.
4Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.
5He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.
6With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, Lord, for it is good.
7For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
