Psalms 54
Chapter 54 of 150
1 Confident Prayer in Great Peril. For the leader. On stringed instruments. A maskil of David,
2 when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “David is hiding among us.”
3 O God, by your name save me. By your strength defend my cause.
4 O God, hear my prayer. Listen to the words of my mouth.
5 Strangers have risen against me; the ruthless seek my life; they do not keep God before them.
6 God is present as my helper; the Lord sustains my life.
7 Turn back the evil upon my foes; in your faithfulness, destroy them.
8 Then I will offer you generous sacrifice and give thanks to your name, Lord, for it is good.
9 Because it has rescued me from every trouble, and my eyes look down on my foes.
