Psalms 54

PSALM 54
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil,
A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?
1Save me, O God, by thy great name,
and judge me by thy strength:
2My prayer hear, O God; give ear
unto my words at length.
3For they that strangers are to me
do up against me rise;
Oppressors seek my soul, and God
set not before their eyes.
4The Lord my God my helper is,
lo, therefore I am bold:
He taketh part with ev'ry one
that doth my soul uphold.
5Unto mine enemies he shall
mischief and ill repay:
O for thy truth's sake cut them off,
and sweep them clean away.
6I will a sacrifice to thee
give with free willingness;
Thy name, O Lord, because 'tis good,
with praise I will confess.
7For he hath me delivered
from all adversities;
And his desire mine eye hath seen
upon mine enemies.

Psalms 54
54
To the director: With instruments. A maskil of David written when the Ziphites went to Saul and told him, “We think David is hiding among our people.”
1God, use your power and save me.
Use your great power to set me free.#54:1 Literally, “God, save me with your name, judge me with your might.”
2God, listen to my prayer.
Listen to what I say.
3Strangers who don’t even think about God have turned against me.
Those powerful men are trying to kill me. Selah
4Look, my God will help me.
My Lord will support me.
5He will punish the people who turned against me.
God, be faithful to me and destroy them.
6Lord, I will give freewill offerings to you.
I will praise your good name.
7You saved me from all my troubles.
I saw my enemies defeated.
