Psalms 54
54
Psalm 54
Prayer for Defense against Enemies.
To the Chief Musician; with stringed instruments. A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem, of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, “David is hiding among us.”
1Save me, O God, by Your name;
And vindicate me by Your [wondrous] power.
2Hear my prayer, O God;
Listen to the words of my mouth.
3For 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 and ally;
The Lord is the sustainer of my soul [my upholder].
5He will pay back the evil to my enemies;
In Your faithfulness destroy them.
6¶With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You;
I will give thanks and praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good.
7For He has rescued me from every trouble,
And my eye has looked with satisfaction (triumph) on my enemies.

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.
