Psalm 54
54
The Lord Upholds My Life
To the choirmaster: with #Ps. 4, title stringed instruments. A Maskil#54:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term of David, #1 Sam. 23:19; 26:1when the Ziphites went and told Saul, “Is not David hiding among us?”
1O God, save me by your #Ps. 5:11; 52:9name,
and vindicate me by your might.
2O God, #See Ps. 55:1hear my prayer;
give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 #
Ps. 86:14 For #Ps. 18:44; 144:7; Isa. 25:5 strangers#54:3 Some Hebrew manuscripts and Targum insolent men (compare Psalm 86:14) have risen against me;
ruthless men #[1 Sam. 23:15]seek my life;
they do not set God before themselves. Selah
4Behold, #Ps. 118:7God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life.
5He will return the evil to my enemies;
in your #[Ps. 89:49] faithfulness #Ps. 143:12put an end to them.
6With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;
I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, #Ps. 52:9for it is good.
7For he has delivered me from every trouble,
and my eye has #Ps. 59:10; 92:11; 112:8; 118:7looked in triumph on my enemies.

Psalms 54
54
To the Overseer with stringed instruments. — An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, ‘Is not David hiding himself with us?’
1O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.
2O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,
3For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.
4Lo, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,
5Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.
6With a freewill-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for [it is] good,
7For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!
