Psalm, 54
To the director; to be accompanied with stringed instruments. Masʹkil.*1 Of David, when the Ziphʹites came in and said to Saul: “David is hiding among us.”
1 O God, save me by your name, And defend me*1 with your power.
|
2 O God, hear my prayer; Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers rise up against me, And ruthless men seek my life.*1 They have no regard for God.*2 (Selah)
|
4 Look! God is my helper; Jehovah is with those supporting me.*1
|
5 He will repay my foes with their own evil; In your faithfulness, put an end to*1 them.
|
6 I will sacrifice to you willingly. I will praise your name, O Jehovah, for it is good.
7 For he saves me from every distress, And I will look in triumph on my enemies.
