Psalms 54

1For the music director, on stringed instruments, a contemplative song of David,

2when the Ziphites came and said to Saul: “Is not David hiding himself among us?”

3O God, save me by Your Name, vindicate me by Your might.

4O God, hear my prayer, listen to the words of my mouth.

5For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men seek after my soul. They do not set God before them. Selah

6Surely God is my helper. My Lord is the supporter of my soul.

7Let evil return to my foes. Silence them with Your truth!

8I will sacrifice a freewill offering to You. I will praise Your name, Adonai, for it is good.

9For He has delivered me from all trouble, and my eye has gazed upon my enemies.
