Psalm 54:1–7

O God, save me by your name,

and vindicate me by your might.

O God, hear my prayer;

give ear to the words of my mouth.

For strangers have risen against me;

ruthless men seek my life;

they do not set God before themselves. Selah

Behold, God is my helper;

the Lord is the upholder of my life.

He will return the evil to my enemies;

in your faithfulness put an end to them.

With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;

I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good.

For he has delivered me from every trouble,

and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.

Save me, O God, by your name;

vindicate me by your might.

Hear my prayer, O God;

listen to the words of my mouth.

Arrogant foes are attacking me;

ruthless people are trying to kill me—

people without regard for God.

Surely God is my help;

the Lord is the one who sustains me.

Let evil recoil on those who slander me;

in your faithfulness destroy them.

I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you;

I will praise your name, Lord, for it is good.

You have delivered me from all my troubles,

and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.

God, save me by your name,

and vindicate me by your might!

God, hear my prayer;

listen to the words from my mouth.

For strangers rise up against me,

and violent men intend to kill me.

They do not let God guide them.

Selah

God is my helper;

the Lord is the sustainer of my life.

He will repay my adversaries for their evil.

Because of your faithfulness, annihilate them.

I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you.

I will praise your name, Lord,

because it is good.

For he has rescued me from every trouble,

and my eye has looked down on my enemies.

Come with great power, O God, and rescue me!

Defend me with your might.

Listen to my prayer, O God.

Pay attention to my plea.

For strangers are attacking me;

violent people are trying to kill me.

They care nothing for God.

Interlude

But God is my helper.

The Lord keeps me alive!

May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them.

Do as you promised and put an end to them.

I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you;

I will praise your name, O Lord,

for it is good.

For you have rescued me from my troubles

and helped me to triumph over my enemies.

O God, by your name save me,

and by your power vindicate me.

O God, hear my prayer;

heed the words of my mouth.

For foreigners have risen against me,

and ruthless men seek my life.

They have not set God before them. Selah

See, God is my helper;

The Lord is with those who sustain my life.

He will repay my enemies for their evil;

in your faithfulness destroy them.

I will freely sacrifice to you;

I will give thanks to your name,

O Yahweh, because it is good.

Because he has delivered me from all trouble,

and my eye has looked with satisfaction on my enemies.

Save me, O God, by thy name,

And judge me by thy strength.

Hear my prayer, O God;

Give ear to the words of my mouth.

For strangers are risen up against me,

And oppressors seek after my soul:

They have not set God before them. Selah.

Behold, God is mine helper:

The Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies:

Cut them off in thy truth.

I will freely sacrifice unto thee:

I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble:

And mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
