Psalms 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.

PSALM 54
Prayer for Defense against Enemies.
For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding himself among us?”
1Save me, O God, by Your name,
And #Lit judgevindicate me by Your power.
2Hear my prayer, O God;
Give ear to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers have risen against me
And violent men have sought my life;
They have not set God before them. Selah.
4Behold, God is my helper;
The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
5 # Lit The evil will return He will recompense the evil to my foes;
Destroy them in Your faithfulness.
6Willingly I will sacrifice to You;
I will give thanks to Your name, O Lord, for it is good.
7For He has delivered me from all trouble,
And my eye has looked with satisfaction upon my enemies.
