Psalms 54
54
Psalm 54#In Hebrew texts 54:1-7 is numbered 54:3-9.
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil#Title: Probably a literary or musical term of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, ‘Is not David hiding among us?’
1Save me, O God, by your name;
vindicate me by your might.
2Hear my prayer, O God;
listen to the words of my mouth.
3Arrogant foes are attacking me;
ruthless people are trying to kill me –
people without regard for God.#54:3 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.
4Surely God is my help;
the Lord is the one who sustains me.
5Let evil recoil on those who slander me;
in your faithfulness destroy them.
6I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you;
I will praise your name, Lord, for it is good.
7You have delivered me from all my troubles,
and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.

Psalms 54
54
Psalm 54
For the choir director; on stringed instruments; a maskil by David when people from the city of Ziph told Saul that David was hiding among them.
1O God, save me by your name,
and defend me with your might.
2O God, hear my prayer,
and open your ears to the words from my mouth.
3Strangers have attacked me.
Ruthless people seek my life.
They do not think about God. Selah
4God is my helper!
The Lord is the provider for my life.
5My enemies spy on me.
Pay them back with evil.
Destroy them with your truth!
6I will make a sacrifice to you along with a freewill offering.
I will give thanks to your good name, O Lord.
7Your name rescues me from every trouble.
My eyes will gloat over my enemies.
