Psalm 54
For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by
David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding
himself among us?”
1 Save me, God,
by your name.
Vindicate me in your might.
2 Hear
my prayer, God.
Listen to the words
of my mouth.
3 For strangers
have risen up against me.
Violent men have sought
after my soul.
They haven’t set God before them.
Selah.
4 Behold, God
is my helper.
The Lord is the
one who sustains my soul.
5 He
will repay the evil
to my enemies.
Destroy them in
your truth.
6 With
a free will offering,
I will sacrifice
to you.
I will give thanks
to your name, LORD,
for it is good.
7 For
he has delivered
me out of
all trouble.
My eye has seen triumph over
my enemies.
