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
54
For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when the Ziphites came to Saul and told him, “David is hiding among us.”
1God, because of your very nature,#54:1. Literally, “name.” please save me! Vindicate me by your power!
2God, please hear my prayer; listen to what I'm saying.
3For strangers are coming to attack me—violent men who don't care about God are trying to kill me. Selah.
4But God helps me; the Lord saves my life!
5The evil my enemies have done will come back upon them. I depend on you to destroy them.
6I will happily offer a sacrifice to you; I will praise the kind of person you are,#54:6. Literally, “your name.” Lord, for you are good.
7For he has saved me from all my troubles; and I have seen those who hated me defeated.#54:7. “Defeated”: implied. Literally, “with my eye I have looked at those who hate me.”
