PSALM 54

« Psalm 53 | Psalm 54 | Psalm 55 »

Prayer for Defense against Enemies.For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding himself among us?”
54:1 Save me, O God, by Your name,

And vindicate me by Your power.

2 Hear my prayer, O God;

Give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers have risen against me

And violent men have sought my life;

They have not set God before them. Selah.

4 Behold, God is my helper;

The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

5 He will recompense the evil to my foes;

Destroy them in Your faithfulness.

6 Willingly I will sacrifice to You;

I will give thanks to Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

7 For He has delivered me from all trouble,

And my eye has looked with satisfaction upon my enemies.
