Psalms 54
54
Answered Prayer for Deliverance from Adversaries
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Contemplation of David #1 Sam. 23:19when the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding with us?”
1Save me, O God, by Your name,
And vindicate me by Your strength.
2Hear my prayer, O God;
Give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers have risen up against me,
And oppressors have sought after my life;
They have not set God before them.
Selah
4Behold, God is my helper;
The Lord is with those who uphold my life.
5He will repay my enemies for their evil.
Cut them off in Your truth.
6I will freely sacrifice to You;
I will praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good.
7For He has delivered me out of all trouble;
#Ps. 59:10And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.
