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.

A Prayer for Protection from Enemies#Ps 54 Hebrew title: A poem by David, after the men from Ziph went to Saul and told him that David was hiding in their territory.#1 Sam 23.19; 26.1
1Save me by your power, O God;
set me free by your might!
2Hear my prayer, O God;
listen to my words!
3Proud men are coming to attack me;
cruel men are trying to kill me —
men who do not care about God.
4But God is my helper.
The Lord is my defender.
5May God use their own evil to punish my enemies.
He will destroy them because he is faithful.
6I will gladly offer you a sacrifice, O LORD;
I will give you thanks
because you are good.
7You have rescued me from all my troubles,
and I have seen my enemies defeated.
