Psalm 54
Prayer for Deliverance
For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Davidic Maskil. When the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding among us?”
1 God, save me by Your name,
and vindicate me by Your might!
2 God, hear my prayer;
listen to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers rise up against me,
and violent men seek my life.
They have no regard for God.[a]
4 God is my helper;
the Lord is the sustainer of my life.[b]
5 He will repay my adversaries for their evil.
Because of Your faithfulness, annihilate them.
6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to You.
I will praise Your name, Yahweh,
because it is good.
7 For He has delivered me from every trouble,
and my eye has looked down on my enemies.
