Psalm 54

Psalm 54

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David. When the Ziphites^a had gone to Saul and said, “Is not David hiding among us?”

^*Save me^b, O God, by your name;^c

vindicate me by your might.^d

Hear my prayer, O God;^e

listen to the words of my mouth.

Arrogant foes are attacking me;^f

ruthless people^g seek my life^h—

people without regard for God.ⁱ

Surely God is my help;^j

the Lord is the one who sustains me.^k

Let evil recoil^l on those who slander me;

in your faithfulness^m destroy them.

I will sacrifice a freewill offeringⁿ to you;

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

You have delivered me^q from all my troubles,

and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.^r
