Psalms 54
54
(For the music leader. Use with stringed instruments. A special psalm that David wrote when the people of Ziph went to Saul and said, “David is hiding here with us.”)
Trusting God in Times of Trouble
1 #
1 S 23.19; 26.1. Save me, God, by your power
and prove that I am right.
2Listen to my prayer
and hear what I say.
3Cruel strangers have attacked
and want me dead.
Not one of them cares
about you.
4You will help me, Lord God,
and keep me from falling;
5you will punish my enemies
for their evil deeds.
Be my faithful friend
and destroy them.
6I will bring a gift
and offer a sacrifice
to you, Lord.
I will praise your name
because you are good.
7You have rescued me
from all my troubles,
and my own eyes have seen
my enemies fall.

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.
