Psalms 54:1-7

1 1 2Save me, God, by 3Your name, And 4vindicate me by 5Your power.2 6Hear my prayer, God; 7Listen to the words of my mouth.3For strangers have 8risen against me And 9violent men have 10sought my 11life; They have 12not set God before them. Selah

4Behold, 13God is my helper; The Lord is 14the 15sustainer of my soul.5 16He will 17pay back the evil to my enemies; 18 19Destroy them 20in Your 21faithfulness.

6 22 23Willingly I will sacrifice to You; I will 24praise Your name, Lord, for it is good.7For 25He has 26saved me from all 27trouble, And my eye has 28looked with satisfaction upon my enemies.
