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.

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.
