give ear to the words of my mouth.

the Lord is with those who support my life.

In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

and my eye has looked down on my enemies.

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.
