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.

Psalms 54

Psalm 54
For the music leader. With stringed instruments. A maskil#54.0 Perhaps instruction of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding among us?”
1God! Save me by your name;
defend me by your might!
2God! Hear my prayer;
listen to the words of my mouth!
3The proud have come up against me;
violent people want me dead.
They pay no attention to God. Selah
4But look here: God is my helper;
my Lord sustains my life.
5He will bring disaster on my opponents.
By your faithfulness, God, destroy them!
6I will sacrifice to you freely;
I will give thanks to your name, LORD,
because it’s so good,
7and because God has delivered me
from every distress.
My eyes have seen my enemies’ defeat.#54.7 Heb lacks defeat.
