Psalms 54

Psalm 54

Prayer for Defense against Enemies.

1Save me, O God, by Your name; And vindicate me by Your [wondrous] power.

2Hear my prayer, O God; Listen 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 and ally; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul [my upholder].

5He will pay back the evil to my enemies; In Your faithfulness destroy them.

6With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You; I will give thanks and praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good.

7For He has rescued me from every trouble, And my eye has looked with satisfaction (triumph) on my enemies.
