Psalms 54

Prayer for defence against enemies.

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David; when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?

¹Save me, O God, by thy name, And judge me in thy might.

²Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.

³For strangers are risen up against me, And violent men have sought after my soul: They have not set God before them. Selah

⁴Behold, God is my helper: The Lord is of them that uphold my soul.

⁵He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.

⁶With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.

⁷For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
