Psalm 54, verse by verse
Each verse is given twice: first in the King James Version, then in the World Bible Guide plain reading.
Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
God, in your name, rescue me. In your power, give me justice.
Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
Listen to my plea, O God; lend your ear to my spoken thoughts.
For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
Outsiders rise up against me, ruthless people are out to take my life, oblivious of God's presence. Pause and reflect.
Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
Feel it in your heart, God is my support, always standing by those who nurture my spirit.
He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
He will repay my foes with their own wickedness; in your faithfulness, destroy them.
I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
With joy in my heart, I will willingly offer sacrifices to you. I'll sing your praises, O LORD, for your goodness is undeniable.
For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
He has rescued me from every hardship, and I have witnessed His justice against my foes.

Hear it read aloud in the iPhone and iPad app, or bring a question about it to Simon Peter, Paul, Philip, John the Baptist, Judas Iscariot or Jesus. When an answer rests on a passage, you see which one. Each person is an interpretation drawn from the text, never the person.
