Psalm 54: 1-7

May 2, 2024 12:01 AM

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil[b] of David. When the Ziphites had gone to Saul and said, “Is not David hiding among us?”

Save me, O God, by your name;     vindicate me by your might. Hear my prayer, O God;     listen to the words of my mouth.


Arrogant foes are attacking me;     ruthless people are trying to kill me—     people without regard for God.[c]


Surely God is my help;     the Lord is the one who sustains me.


Let evil recoil on those who slander me;     in your faithfulness destroy them.


I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you;     I will praise your name, Lord, for it is good. You have delivered me from all my troubles,     and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
